McKinley Park Mutual Aid, a multiracial coalition of neighbors that came together during the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic in order to address the systemic failures of our government through non-hierarchical grassroots organizing. As a group, we are grounded in problem-solving creativity towards the needs of our neighbors, from delivering groceries, launching internet campaigns, redistributing wealth, communing in the park, and amplifying local and national movements for economic, racial and environmental justice.
