Building the Movement for Mutual Aid

We’re so excited to have Mutual Aid Disaster Relief stop in Oakland during their West Coast tour!

Come hear about MADR’s work including their formation during Hurricane Katrina, solidarity efforts in Puerto Rico, and all the way to their current training program.

This evening will be an introductory presentation: “Protectors v. Profiteers: Communities in Resistance to Disaster Capitalism.”

Free admission – all are welcome!
This event is in OMNI’s Ballroom which has wheelchair accessibility.

Posters from Beehive Collective and other merch will be on sale as a fundraiser for the tour. Please bring cash and support this impactful tour!
If you have any questions contact Susan: susanpark13@gmail.com

THEN, join them on Sunday in SF for a deeper, participatory workshop for affinity groups and individuals who are ready to get involved, “Giving Our Best, Ready For The Worst: Community Organizing as Disaster Preparedness.”

The Mutual Aid Disaster Relief (MADRelief) Training Team is visiting our community. Currently MADRelief is on a national capacity-building and educational tour. They will explain how natural storms turn into unnatural disasters through dangerous new forms of “disaster capitalism” and “extreme resource extraction,” and train diverse affinity groups on principles of grassroots direct action humanitarian aid and crisis response, covering a wide range of topics such as “Principles of ‘Solidarity, Not Charity,’” “Using Privilege to Break Down Barriers,” “Building Power in Collaboration,” and “Overcoming Trauma Together.”
