Shot of Truth Podcast and 77Mutual aid are collaborating on this effort because we believe in the redistribution of wealth and resources. 77 Mutual aid is a collective in Brownsville, TX raising funds to support local community members. The mutual funds will go directly to immigrant people working at the flea markets in Brownsville, TX. These folks have been heavily impacted by COVID-19, climate change, US imperialist policies and excluded from government assistance. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help 25 immigrant families working at the Flea Market. You can donate at @Mutualaid77 via Venmo. @77mutualaid via cash app.
This episode highlights one of the organizers, Martha Mercado, we talk about economics, understanding social-economic status, and why we should all participate in redistributing wealth. The last 15 minutes focus primarily on the mutual aid fund! Enjoy!
