A dream I have for my local neighborhoods in Ypsilanti looks like an intentional network of cooperative resource exchanges and food sovereignty programs that are lead by people from the bottom up; femmes, queers, and working class folk who know what their needs are and how to achieve them. We are manifesting this at the Mutual Aid Network of Ypsilanti (the MANY), a project focused on meeting people's most basic, material and emotional needs through collaboration, sharing, and direct action.
