Really beautiful piece by @FrancesMadeson up @therealnews today, looking at how solidarity economy/mutual aid organizers from Cooperation Jackson , Southern Solidarity, & Coop Nola helped fill the tragic voids left by official relief in the wake of Hurricane Ida therealnews.com/hurricane-ida-…

When the media moved on from Hurricane Ida's destruction, mutual aid orgs like Cooperation Jackson & Southern Solidarity came to the aid of upended communities. What a beautiful, stirring, & important read from the great @FrancesMadeson at The Real News therealnews.com/hurricane-ida-…

Both of these groups are amazing, while doing disaster relief in my state seeing that they are throwing down as well brought joy to my heart. Hugs of solidarity to Cooperation Jackson & Southern Solidarity 💚
