2020 Mutual Aid Series



During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have explored ways to use virtual programming as a source of mutual aid and community care, raising more than 10k to support BIPOC and undocumented folk, land defenders, and others affected by systemic violence in the New York metropolitan area, Guatemala and Mexico.


Programs included Spirit Level sound therapy with Guadalupe Maravilla (embedded above), a reading of Central American diaspora writers in New York City, and “Letters to the Land,” a workshop led by poet mónica teresa ortiz.
