Flatlands Press is happy to say that during this surreal error/era, WE have found like-minded people to combine efforts with for a common goal: to help those in need and to link pocket groups together in support and solidarity toward a healthy community.
In an effort to alleviate food apartheid, I've linked up with the Love Fridge Chicago. The Love Fridge is a mutual aid network that sets up community-run, free-food fridges across the city. In less than 5 weeks, we've placed 4 free fridges in locations around Chicago, with 3-4 more planned by the end of the week. This is not charity, this is community-led mutual aid, an investment by neighbors to care for each other. As I've visited each fridge to drop off flyers, printed collateral, and food, I've seen community members and neighbors adding food to the fridges as well as liberating food from them.
We are grateful to have an opportunity to work within this movement, it gives me a place to focus my efforts and alleviate the anxiety of our current dystopian zeitgeist.
Hurt people hurt others. Please join our movement to help break the cycle. Let's care for one another. Peace.
The Love Shack 💚
