Mutual Aid Requests Roundup – 17 June 2026
My people are on the streets again in Indonesia. Everywhere the state decides certain people's survival is not a priority, the same infrastructure gap opens. The only thing that fills it is people deciding to fill it for each other. The full list is at the link. Some requests are urgent, some are overdue, and all of them need movement. Show up however possible, financially or by amplifying so someone who can give financially finds the request. Both matter.Iz is a 23 year old Queer Disabled Australian with an assistance dog named Cobie. Iz lives with severe ME/CFS, ASD and Psychosocial disabilities. Iz and Cobie have to leave their current accomodation by the 30th June but there are no wheelchair accessible refuges to house them. Leaving them homeless on the street.

Unintended consequences - The age verification debate is backwards. It prioritizes theoretical risks to privileged kids over documented harms to those already marginalized. For disabled youth, LGBTQ+ teens, and kids in unstable homes, social media isn't a distraction—it's a lifeline. Banning access punishes the most vulnerable while doing nothing about algorithmic harms. Real policy would protect without erasing. #AgeVerification #DigitalEquity #DisabilityJustice #a11y #MarginalizedVoices
The website maskbloc.org hasn't been updated in a year and the email on their website seems to have been deactivated, so we're starting a new global directory on https://worldwide-maskbloc.org/! 😷
We have a live map of blocs worldwide, a searchable directory you can filter by name, city, or what they offer, and a growing list of tools and resources for staying safe.
Run a mask bloc, or know one that should be listed? Submit it on the site. Every listing is reviewed by a real person before it goes live, so it's a directory you can actually trust.
Know a tool or resource we're missing? Email us at [email protected]
Mutual aid is not charity. It's a practice we build together, person to person. Access needs are collective needs, and disability justice is everyone's fight. No gatekeeping, no questions asked.
Find a bloc. Start a bloc. Support your community. We keep us safe.

Stop blaming people for not wearing masks and start having a political analysis of eugenics.

"Learning from other struggles against eugenics, for self-defense in healthcare, and for popular response to healthcare
The history of every society that has existed until now is the history of class struggle. We can learn from the struggles of the past to inspire us, nourish our hope, and (often something lacking in the COVID-Aware community) foster humility.
The Black Panther Party is one of the clearest examples not only of political strategy but of humility, so I ask the following question: Do you think revolutionaries like those in the Black Panther Party would blame people for not wearing masks? No. What do you think they would do? How do we revolutionaries behave? With curiosity, with compassion, and with scientific methods. This requires not only a scientific understanding of how COVID works biologically, but also how to scientifically study the social contradictions that normalize COVID."
