No matter who you are or what you have, you can build real community power and create meaningful change! Mutual aid is an alternative to capitalism and charity that allows for the redistribution of resources and power. Every community and organization, no matter how big or worldchanging, started with individual relationships and everyday actions. These 80 accessible steps are actions you can take today! Build your networks from the ground up, one small, courageous action at a time. Some cards are overtly activist, like volunteering for a phone bank or organizing neighbors to pick and share tree fruit. Others build up your social muscles and help you practice good community-building habits, like offering or accepting a compliment or calling someone you haven't talked to in a while. Meet your neighbors, deepen your existing relationships, build your network, and commit to helping one another. Before you know it, you'll be replacing loneliness with connection and changing the world, together.
