The Mutual Aid Handbook

The Mutual Aid Handbook is a resource that guides communities in establishing systems where members voluntarily support each other through shared resources, skills, and services. Unlike traditional aid, it emphasizes collective responsibility and cooperation, empowering groups to address their needs collaboratively rather than relying solely on external assistance. The handbook offers principles, strategies, and practical steps for building resilient networks that foster solidarity, self-sufficiency, and community well-being during crises or everyday challenges. Its goal is to create sustainable support systems rooted in mutual trust and reciprocity.
