Mutual Aid Roundup: Urgent Requests to Support

Eid Mubarak, everyone!

Today’s Eid al-Adha. In Islam, its significance, in practice, carries the language of sacrifice, provision, obligation, and redistribution. The sacrifice here does not mean abandoning ourselves. One way to interpret it is to materially align ourselves with what Islam teaches us: that God is Al-Wahhab, The Supreme Bestower; Ar-Razzaq, The Provider; and Al-Fattah, The Opener of provision doors. Our dignity is not earned through productivity, respectability, or survival performance. It is inherent because Allah created us with worth before capitalism ever demanded utility from us⁽¹⁾.

When life itself is provision, then everything we hold in this dunya (world) must be understood with humility. Wealth is not proof of superior worth, harder work, or greater deservingness. It exists because Allah allows it to exist under divine decree. To hoard that provision while others are forced to compete for food, shelter, medicine, and safety is not success. It is moral corruption and spiritual bankruptcy.

This means nobody should be in a constant battle between solidarity and survival, or in a competition for basic necessities to earn a proper and dignified living. Nobody should go to sleep hungry, without a roof, or in pain from lack of medication, because nobody should hoard God’s provision.

With that being said, below are the requests from people asking for help with survival needs, rent, food, medicine, utilities, and everything else that enables us to live with dignity, all the things capitalism makes us compete with each other for while slowly eroding our humanity in the process.

Please read through the requests, support directly where possible, and share the requests that still need movement. The rest of the requests can be found under last week’s mutual aid checkpoint.

A Note Before You Go

Every week, I collect mutual aid requests that show up under my Friday mutual aid checkpoint on the fediverse. This is a small attempt on my part, and a continuation of my weekly checkpoint on my previous main platform, which should not be named. This is just another node in the vast digital mutual aid community, to make solidarity as borderless as possible and mutual aid requests easier to follow, share, and return to.

I know I don’t have to do this, but please allow me to apologise for being late to publish this week’s checkpoint roundup article and newsletter. We’re in the second week of the mutual aid amplification project on the fediverse, yet I’m already late publishing the weekly article. I don’t have any excuse other than I really forgot to set this up before focusing on my ibadah, on top of stabilising the ActivityPub relay for the past week, while also catching up with my anime rewatch. Unforgivable.

If last week’s roundup seemed rushed, that’s because it was. It genuinely was. Please bear with me while I’m slowly getting used to the rhythm of work and quality that I set up for myself within my own project framework. Yes, I can hear my AuDHD brain battling against emotional regulation and integrity while typing that.

Eventually, I will form a team to sustain this project together with me, and this whole project will finally be where it belongs: https://mutualaidspace.org (formerly https://mutualaid.wrzky.com). My personal website here will return to functioning as my digital identity, portfolio, and virtual homebase on Bisan’s internet.

Thank you for reading this far. Feel free to drop me an email with your thoughts or advice, if any. And don’t forget to share this article where my presence is unwanted and where mutual aid requests get labeled as e-begging.

See you around.
