Mutual Aid in Action with Sanae Lahgazi Alaoui, Alexa Baiano, Rain, Valinda Chan, Laurie Bertram Roberts, and Vicky Osterweil
Episode 11
Thursday, 24 April, 2025
We’re back with the fifth installment in our Mutual Aid 101 mini-series. This episode is going to be a little different from what we’ve shared before. Rather than extended presentations, you’ll hear six 5-10 minute “Rad Talks” covering examples of mutual aid in action. We welcomed Sanae Lahgazi Alaoui from Metro Atlanta Mutual Aid Fund; Alexa Baiano and Rain from Mutual Aid Disaster Relief; Valinda Chan from Mutual Aid Eastie; Laurie Bertram Roberts from Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund; and writer, organizer, and agitator Vicky Osterweil. These short talks explore the trans and queer underground, reproductive justice, immigration support, and community-led disaster response. At the live event, they were followed by breakout sessions on each topic, which were not recorded. So if you feel like the speakers were a bit reserved, it’s because what they are up to may or may not be suitable for the public record… Resources: Mutual Aid Session 4 video recording Mutual Aid Session 4 transcript Mutual Aid Session 4 public slides Mutual Aid Session 4 link document Mutual Aid 101 Learning Series Mutual Aid 101 Community Canvas Donate to The Response Episode credits: Hosted and executive produced by Tom Llewellyn Produced and edited by Paige Kelly Theme Music by Cultivate Beats Follow The Response on Twitter and Instagram for updates, memes, and more.
