Migrant community responses to the COVID-19 pandemic: Mutual aid at La Morada

This article documents the impact of mutual aid, considering not just the food, resources and information that have been shared within and across communities since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, but the ways in which these efforts are part of an abolitionist framework that precedes and transcends this context, aiming to transform relationships, build community and create alternative structures with justice and dignity at the centre. We centre our analysis in La Morada's mutual aid kitchen in The South Bronx, drawing from our personal experiences working there and our collaboration with La Morada from 2020-2022.
