We are a group of Bi-Co students who are inspired by mutual aid efforts all over the country, and we think that our community can benefit from mutual aid as well! We see the unmet needs of many students, and we want to take matters into our own hands.
We acknowledge that mutual aid is *not* reparations, nor is it charity! This is about a sense of collective care and responsibility for our fellow students. This group was created in response to an effort to redistribute wealth with racial justice in mind, and this remains an important consideration on campus given the deep roots of white supremacy that exist in the Bi-Co.
We're a new group, and we are still figuring out what Bi-Co students really need -- the purpose of this survey is to find that out.
