This zine-book is an artifact of mutual aid organizing by Crown
Heights Mutual Aid (CHMA) and Mutual Aid Medford/Somerville (MAMAS)
from the beginning of the pandemic until early 2022. It contains
transcribed interviews between Mark and mutual aid workers; the
transcript of a conversation about food pods, convened by Mark (and
sponsored by the Urbano Project) with members of the two mutual aid
groups; an article by Lauren Hudson (CHMA member) about solidarity
economies and mutual aid, reprinted from a digital publication by the
Editorial Collective of Rethinking Marxism; and flyers from CHMA and
MAMAS. The texts are interspersed with descriptions and reflections
written by Mark, who has been involved with both groups. Important
themes include, among others: solidarity, mutuality, needfulness,
adaptability, and the role of technology in organizing.
