#9: Grand Rapids Mutual Aid Network (GRAMAN) on Handling Cash Distribution, Representation, and Doing Mutual Aid During a Pandemic (Re-uploaded) Mutual Aid on Lockdown

- How To
In this episode, I talk with LaDonna and Amy from Grand Rapids Mutual Aid Network about the work they're doing in G.R.! Since the beginning of the pandemic, they have worked with 150 volunteers, have given direct cash payments to over 173 families, have given away over $48,000 in those direct payments, and assisted over 245 families with groceries. We have a great discussion about giving away money actually isn't as easy as it may sound, and we also talk about the issue of representation when doing work like this.
