key<p>this is going to pay most of my bills for the July cycle but I need to start pushing really hard to get <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a> for August!

Crapple Pie<p>This message is from an immigration attorney, Renée, that I know personally. She has been working pro bono or pay what you can for all of the families she's been helping for the last year plus. </p><p>Despite working for free, she still works her ass off to help families avoid detention and deportation, and absolutely goes above and beyond as a rule. </p><p> Please consider donating or sharing if it is within your capacity. This particular client is Venezuelan, in removal proceedings (they agreed to have this shared), and are in need of funds for an expert witness to hopefully prevent said removal.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DirectAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DirectAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckICE</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mutualaid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mutualaid</span></a></span> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityCare</span></a></p>

Queer Satanic<p>Actually, one more thing:</p><p>The difference between <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DirectAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DirectAid</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a> is that the former can be withdrawn without any consequence to the person delivering resources b/c the reliance is all one-way </p><p>While for the latter, there is a relationship of *mutual* reliance and alternating indebtedness that empowers and makes vulnerable all parties so they can make demands of each other. </p><p>This is a good thing! But many people, even leftists ostensibly doing work for their community, don't want to give up their power and be forced to negotiate with others as whole people or engage in trade that carries with it obligations.</p>
