We Are All We Got — Resources for Mutual Aid During the Coronavirus Pandemic

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.
