We Are All We Got — Resources for Mutual Aid During the Coronavirus Pandemic
I know so many of us are scared and panicked in these uncertain times. The truth is that things are going to get worse before they get better. And we should brace ourselves for that while simultaneously doing everything we can do to prevent the spread, like staying home and washing hands vigorously. What is also true is that we will get through this. As a community.
With the help of the community, I have compiled a list of mutual aid resources. There is everything here from support for older and disabled folks, raising money for gig workers and artists - there is even a link to emotional support for Corona anxiety. There are many many resources out there and I hope you find this list useful. Please share with others.
The second most powerful tool we have is accurate information. I’m seeing a lot of inaccurate emails and Facebook posts. That is very dangerous - particularly right now when we must do everything in our power to stop this thing in its tracks. I am not a doctor so I’m not going to give medical advice, but below are some websites that can provide timely and accurate information.
