ONLINE: Mutual Aid Solidarity Summit

press release: June 19-20, 2021. Schedule here

Where: Wherever you are, and online at hopin 

Who: People who are ready to use mutual aid to support each other in building a world that supports thriving life for the 100%

Why: Hosted by Humans United in Mutual Aid Networks, in order to come together to learn from and support each other in mutual aid efforts. Our goal is to create means for everyone to discover and succeed in work they want to do, with the support of their community. We act on our belief that everyone deserves a lively humanhood, and we support each other to live our highest and best life.

What: At the Solidarity Summit we’ll gather (COVID-safe, physically distant, outdoor, masked when possible, and/or online) simultaneously in our localities with our local mutual aid partners, and connect online across all the locations participating, in order to build skills, relationships, and momentum together while benefiting our local work.

Saturday June 19 includes two sessions about Cooperative Economics Software & Tools which should be extremely interesting to people in organizing roles, mutual aid tool development, and concrete projects.

If this appeals to you, please feel free to catch up in advance with these materials. (But you'll get a little overview if you don't get around to it.)

Sunday June 20 sessions include:

• Stages of HUMAN development - how to engage at different levels, how to develop our mutual aid efforts, reports from our mutual aid sister sites!
• Live marketplace - See who has the things, know-how, or skills you need, make your plans for future work and fun
• Games for learning and collaboration
• One more chance to watch and discuss Hacking For The Commons, in case you missed it Saturday.
