The Mutual Aid Project is a collective of students, staff, and faculty that explores, researches, supports, and instantiates mutual aid and anti-capitalist efforts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and beyond.

We conceive of mutual aid as a practice of community care and a political framework that has roots in solidarity and resistance efforts in communities such as BIPOC communities, queer communities and disabled communities. Systems and structures of support - financial, emotional, and physical - were created as a means of survival in an inhumane and deeply inequitable capitalist system. Mutual aid spaces (both historically and today) can offer a practice and vision of world-building that centers equity and liberation via alternatives to formal institutional or state-sponsored support.
