Last chance to phone bank for the runoffs:

Sunday at 3pm

Join your comrades from across the country on Sunday 1/3 to fight for a People's Bailout and build DSA's base in the South! Supplementing on-the-ground organizing by Georgia DSA chapters, we're mobilizing folks for Georgia's Senate & Public Service Commission runoff elections. On Suday we'll be making calls to working class voters in Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah to drive turnout and and invite them to join DSA. Join us and help us leverage this moment to build power in Georgia — no matter who wins.

East Atlanta Block will also be organizing for the runoffs on Sunday @ noon at NH Scott Rec Center (2230 Tilson Rd). This contactless lit drop means participants simply stick the handouts on our neighbors' doors or mailbox flags and move along. Bring a mask and join the fun.

Charity is for capitalists.

Mutual aid is for comrades.

MADSA's December mutual aid drive closed out with a distribution of food, clothing, PPE kits and more at Woodruff Park on December 26. Additional cash donations funded the purchase of more supplies to distribute - and we have put remaining cash aside in anticipation of a probable wave of evictions early in the new year to fund support for those who may be impacted.

We were overwhelmed by your support and participation - and we look forward to more mutual aid efforts in the future.

If you're wondering how mutual aid differs from charity, we've got a great primer for you:

While mutual aid has been an activism buzz-term since March 2020 (we bet you can guess why), not all of us have been able to sit down and figure out what it means. That, or we assume it’s some kind of fundraising campaign to address a specific need. But redistribution via mutual aid has been around since long before the pandemic. Before there was a “capitalism” and nine-to-fives and paychecks and even currencies, chances are that our ancestors lived in societies resembling mutual aid programs.

With that in mind, it’s easy to confuse mutual aid with charity — after all, when we with means to distribute part of our paychecks into a mutual aid program, we might feel like we are donating to a charity. But what is mutual aid and why is it important to differentiate from charity?
