Connect with community

Asheville Mutual Aid Connection was started in September 2020 as a seedling of an idea presented to We Keep Us Safe, an informal coalition of vouched local leftist activists & organizers that came together during the height of the uprisings.

​

With the intention of building long-term, sustainable, inter-community, inter-generational networks of support & resource sharing, AMAC strives to address the poverty of both resources & human connection that systemically create obstacles for us to organize together in our full power.

​

Mutual Aid Connection aims to connect individuals who are seeking free & accessible services/resources with individuals who can offer them, so that our communities can rely less on state and capitalist institutions, and more on direct person-to-person support.

​

We have completed a great milestone of building the first iteration of this platform, and have achieved proof of concept. We are curious to seeing how it grows & evolves, and our dream vision is to completely move away from 3rd party applications and develop AMAC on a fully autonomous, encrypted, and community self-managed platform within our own trusted community servers.

​

By creating alternative networks of care rooted in mutual aid, intersectional anarcho-feminism, abolition, transformative justice, and harm reduction, we dream of a world of autonomous, horizontal abundance where we will be able to do away with the current carceral, settler-colonial, white heteropatriarchal state all together.
