Q3 24 Report!✊🏾 As we bring in the new year, EMA recaps our quarterly spending. Each quarterly report is first shared directly within our community at our General Meetings and then to the wider community network. From our main programs like bi-weekly distribution to direct assistance that helps with moving, rent, bills, etc. each dollar goes back into the hands of black and brown Detroiters! If you’d like to support, links located in linktree. Solidarity always, for the people by the people!✊🏾

We’re so excited to help out our friends at @esmutualaid this winter!! We will be collecting donations of the following items to support their goal to create/distribute winter survival kits to folks in our community. Our goal is just to collect as many as possible! Today thru Dec. 15th, bring by new/gently used items from the list on slide 2, and take 50% off any purchase! We love that you all donate to us regularly, and now is a good a time as any to show up for each other. Let’s do that 🩵

Mutual Aid is nothing without a strong sense of community and the number 1 aspect of any communal action is strong relationships through shared goals and comradery. Huge thanx as always to all our community partners especially @thegoldenquetzal for helping facilitate the supply of treats from @mutualaiddisasterrelief for our folks and community members who are on the go! Solidarity always 🤝 #mutualaid #Detroit #michigan #transient
