Group description
Mississippi Rising Coalition is a coalition of persons and groups committed to protecting and advancing the human rights of marginalized and exploited MS residents via community organizing, popular education, direct action and advocacy.
Work description
When the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak began, we knew a rapid response disaster relief initiative would be critical to helping impacted individuals survive and meet basic needs now, and in the wake of future crises, while not falling prey to disaster capitalism. MS Gulf Coast Mutual Aid Network is a grassroots disaster relief network based on the principles of solidarity, mutual aid, and autonomous direct action. Mutual aid is voluntary, reciprocal, participatory assistance among equals and being with, not for, disaster survivors. By working with, listening to, and supporting impacted individuals and communities, especially our most vulnerable members, we support what they need to lead their own recovery and build long-term, sustainable and resilient communities.
