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.

Mutual Aid Requests Roundup 10/06/2026

Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can.

Mutual Aid Checkpoint Roundup 27/05/2026

I’ve listed mutual aid requests from this week’s checkpoint that need urgent support: rent, food, medicine, utilities, and everything else that enables people to live with dignity. Please read through, support directly, share requests that still need movement, or boost this post far and wide so they can move beyond one feed and reach people who can help.
Again, this is a roundup of the first 10 requests shared under the previous Friday mutual aid checkpoint on my main profile, @wrzky
Give directly if possible, boost each request and this post, and see you next week.

Is Islam Compatible with Modern Values?

Islam is compatible with justice, dignity, accountability, care for the vulnerable, limits on power, and moral restraint. If those are the values being named as modern, then there is real ground for conversation. If “modern values” means endless consumption, moral relativism when it is convenient, state violence wrapped in the language of security, and pretending colonialism is finished, then no. Islam was never meant to be compatible with that.

Rage Against the Machine: Toward Humane Systems of Mutual Aid

Humanitarian aid is sold as neutral and benevolent. On the ground, it is an outpost of empire. It registers, sorts, and disciplines the people it claims to save, and leaves untouched what wrecked them. In Palestine, it normalises occupation and freezes life in permanent limbo. In Sudan, it retreated and left devastation behind. In Congo, it manages displacement while extraction rolls on. States have even captured zakat and turned it into prestige and bureaucracy. Still, communities feed each other. Palestinian crowdfunding, Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms, and Team Congo RDC bypass the gatekeepers and put resources in people's hands, with no donor hierarchy. Share this work, and strengthen the mutual aid ecosystem.
