It's Going Down

How do you organize mutual aid in a city without power, water, and internet?

Don't miss our latest episode of This Is America, featuring an interview with someone from Rural Organizing and Resiliance (ROAR) and volunteers @firestorm in #Asheville.

We discuss how hundreds of people across the city came together following #HurricaneHelene in mass meetings and helped to organize autonomous disaster relief and mutual aid. ROAR speaks about the challenges of mobilizing in rural areas.

We also speak with the two hosts of 'The Dugout' a Black anarchist podcast, roundup resistance news, and talk about how Trump is already moving to contest the next election.

The FOSS Public Alert Server lets clients receive Push Notification (via UnifiedPush) about official emergency alerts worldwide. Besides infrastructure like sirens, radio, and Cell-Broadcast, CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) alerts are another way of alerting the public. CAP alerts are used for a wide variety of emergencies. From alerts about extreme weather to alerts about contaminated drinking water to pandemics.

Mutual aid has always been a core component of how we build solidarity, how we take care of a community. Due to the tornadoes that are now more frequent because of climate change, and the collapsing water and other types of infrastructure, we’re responding to some major crisis two or three times every year: delivering water, delivering food, coming up with portable generators and fundraising, and setting up community distribution centers. All of that becomes a major component of our work, and we’ve become very proficient at it, but it’s not within the framework of us adding productive capacity to the community to meet its own material needs.
