MUTUAL AID

Community Partner: Black Resilience Fund

The Mutual Aid and Solidarity Team partnered with the Black Resilience Fund, which is an emergency response fund dedicated to healing and resilience by providing immediate resources to Black Portlanders. Together, we created a playbook for mutual aid, with the goal of guiding the fund through their efforts at building a sustainable mutual aid model based in community building and reparations, following their emergency founding. In addition, we partnered with For the Gworls, an NYC-based mutual aid organization that raises money to assist with Black trans folks’ rent & affirmative surgeries. Together, we designed and put forward their new website, which will help better facilitate their outreach and ability to support their community even further.
