Our purpose is to strengthen mutual aid networks in Springfield by placing practical resources directly in the hands of residents, families, and grassroots groups who are closest to community needs and solutions. Through monthly mutual aid meetings where residents share their expertise with others and are encouraged to use mutual aid in their daily lives. We have a meal and ask the residents to sign up to share their wisdom and expereince the following month. This work is rooted in the belief that healthy, just, safe, and sustainable communities are created when people most impacted by systemic barriers have access to resources, decision-making power, and opportunities to support one another.
