MUTUAL AID
Mutual aid and its strategies are at the core of our press. The money raised from selling our publications and merchandise is donated as follows:
80% ︎︎︎Trans Mutual Aid
10% ︎︎︎Palestine Aid
10% ︎︎︎Almanac Press
We support individual trans fundraisers as well as organisations and collectives that work to change the conditions for queer/trans people. We are currently developing how to make our trans mutual aid pool more readily available and plan to launch a public pool in spring 2024.
We see how BIPOC+ and other marginalised communities have long formed mutual aid organisations to turn to one another for support in the face of systemic injustice and inequality. There are many potentialities of mutual aid. As our press grows, so will the scope of our aid.
