“Mutual Aid'' manifests itself in different ways around the world. Broadly, it is a member-led reciprocal exchange of resources within a community, for mutual benefit, rooted in collective care. In NYC, mutual aid projects can include community food drives, anti-eviction support, setup and maintenance of community fridges, homeless support, grocery runs for vulnerable families, ICE watch, and anti-police repression campaigns, among other efforts.

Today in NYC mutual aid plays an especially vital role. Many residents of Brooklyn and Queens are undocumented and/or unhoused, and are therefore unable to qualify for unemployment, receive benefits or collect stimulus checks during the Covid-19 pandemic. Cycles of unemployment, ICE raids and the imminently expiring eviction moratorium are producing a perfect storm of displacement and physical danger for some of our most unprotected neighbors.

CUD: A Compilation for NYC Mutual Aid

two lines

dance in the light sleep with the eye on
come in together, fall apart
go on in a crowd, 
together just to fall apart
to fall apart
and i feel it coming
midnight and my temperature’s rising
and i feel the blood rush to my fingers..
you and i, natural born killers
you and i, natural born killers
killers
killers
killers

is someone at the door?
is there someone at the door?
from the very first
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
from the dirt
from the dirt
midnight and my temperature’s rising
and i feel the blood rush to my fingers
you and i, natural born killers
you and i, natural born killers
killers
killers

sell you all out
I’ll tell you my secret

not enough love?
how bout a pick-me-up

year of the rooster
forever raw
year of the rat
baby I’m a narc for your love

lean in close
I’ll show you what you wanna see
I’m not pretty
I just know how to work the angles

year of the rooster
cock of the walk
year of the rat
baby I’m a narc for your love

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
coming home
home
