Mutual aid is the practice of people helping people — not as charity, but as solidarity. It’s about showing up for each other, sharing resources, and meeting needs collectively, without judgment, hierarchy, or expectation. Mutual aid is based on the idea that everyone has something to offer and everyone deserves care.

Harm reduction is a compassionate and realistic approach to public health and safety. Instead of punishing or shaming people for how they live, harm reduction meets people where they are, offering tools, information, and care to reduce potential risks — especially around substance use, sex, and mental health. It values safety, autonomy, and dignity.

Abolition in short, is the practice of putting messed up systems that perpetuate oppression (like racism, fatphobia, colorism, transphobia, and more) to an end!

 Shutting down places like prisons and psych wards, getting rid of jobs like policing– and creating eco systems where we can learn, grow, have safety and access to resources and joy.

 A world where survivors are centered, a world where folks who have been abusive or have caused harm are accountable. Where communication and love can thrive. Where we are all held. Where we can grieve and heal and repair if we so choose. A world where we are all free.
