As the weather gets colder and our situations begin to feel more dire, many of us are looking for new ways to get involved with community, and protect those around us. We at WRC want to highlight ongoing mutual aid projects in ABQ and help folks get connected!
Mutual aid, as opposed to private charity, is the voluntary and collaborative exchange of resources within a community for the benefit of everyone. It can include physical goods like food, clothing, and medicine, as well as services like education, skill sharing, and community kitchens.
Every weekend @johnbrownbreakfastclub cooks free burritos and pozole for folks downtown and in the international district. Burritos are Saturdays at 9am under the Lead bridge on 1st Street, and pozole is Sundays at 3pm at Trumball Park.
Every month, Albuquerque's Really Really Free Market, @rrfmabq, meets to continue a movement started in other cities to share food, skills, and Material goods for free. They happen on the last Saturday of every month, typically from 12pm to 3pm. Check their Instagram for the location!
abqmutualaid distributes care packages to folks in need around ABQ
@projectfeedthehood runs a community farm in the international district to provide food for community
@thehookup505 holds monthly events to distribute supplies and services
@freewheelmobileaid runs mobile supply distributions downtown, providing food and warm gear for our unhoused community members
@abqheaterbloc builds tent heaters during the winter months for unhoused folks
@nmhrc_ provides harm reduction supplies, Narcan and training, and drug testing

The background of each slide is a photo of the mural in the entrance of the WRC showing a young person of color reading a book below the text "Our bodies, our minds, our power" and a transgender symbol. They are sitting in front of a progress pride flag and flowers. The text from the above paragraphs is on top of the background.Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance.
Every November 20th, TDOR is a day to remember those we have lost, whether they be our friends, loved ones, comrades, family; whether they were out or not, those who had lost their support and community, and those who were never seen; and hold onto their hopes, fears, voices, ambitions, achievements, joy, and stories.
At WRC we are committed to providing a safe space to our trans community and advocating for them wherever possible.

Both slides share a background of a pink, blue, and purple gradient around a central white area. They contain the text of the captionJoin us for a second showing of Preconceived in the SUB next Monday!
