Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.

There are several strong mutual aid societies popping up in my neighborhood and closeby and I am very heartened by them. After NYC cancelled city wide food scrap pick up for compost, a group of us claimed a piece of land to compost on and grow some food. The owner of the land is now open to negotiations. The opportunity for the community to come together in this way in the face of overwhelming stress and lack of political justice is so welcome.
