Mutual Aid & Community Action

Best practices and education in mutual aid, community organization and other radical change come from oppressed communities, especially black women. They are the experts, and participation in the work of mutual aid and community building means treating those authorities with respect and gratitude.

​

Tabletop Craft Co. is not primarily a mutual aid organization. The resources linked here are suggestions, things that have been personally helpful to me as a crafter, small business owner, and someone with an extraordinary amount of privilege. I am still learning. If you are still learning, please join me - we can responsible for helping each other stay accountable, responsible, and respectful.

​

I will update these resources as I learn more. For now, I’ve only listed the basics - this is all stuff you could find yourself with a simple online search. My hope is that having it listed here reminds you prioritize that search. Click the links. Try different search terms. Fall down a rabbit hole. Most of all, pick something to try. One thing, something small if you don't know where to start. But find at least one thing you can do, and try doing it. That's how we start.

I’ve included information on what mutual aid is, how it works, and how it ties to the communities that are so critical to our continued well-being, and so neglected by so many of us. I hope this is helpful.
