Mutual Aid Network
Solidarity in action. Connect with mutual aid networks in the San Gabriel Valley and beyond — because community resilience is built through relationships, not institutions.
Core Principles
Solidarity, Not Charity
Mutual aid is not charity — it is a horizontal exchange between equals. We give because we recognize our interdependence, not because we pity those with less.
Gift Economy
A gift economy operates on abundance rather than scarcity. When we give freely, we build trust, reduce waste, and create conditions for everyone to thrive.
Community Resilience
Resilience is not individual preparedness — it is the strength of our relationships. The more we know and support our neighbors, the more we can weather any storm.
