"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Growing up, Katrina Ramos White helped her immigrant parents run a toy stand at the Berryessa Flea Market in San Jose.

And he knew elders in the Vietnamese community with limited access to the internet were especially vulnerable to losing this aid when they needed it most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started making calls. He reached out to friends and old colleagues he knew from years of being involved in social work across Santa Clara County to figure out exactly what families and elderly neighbors would need during lockdown, and how to get these services out in the spirit of mutual aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends were delivering hot meals to the elderly and translating critical information about the coronavirus into Vietnamese.

And in the Vietnamese community, he notes, “the mutual aid effort really started out from helping underprivileged folks here and in Vietnam.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After North Vietnamese forces took control in Vietnam in 1975, the Bay Area saw an influx of Vietnamese migrants. But traditional financial institutions like banks made it difficult for recent arrivals to access credit when they needed it the most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Small groups would … put money together to fundraise,” said Pham. “They would request from members a donation monthly and would use that money for scholarships, to build houses and things like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These strategies employed by Vietnamese families to survive tough times in the U.S. served as the blueprint for young people like Pham to organize at the start of the pandemic — a time when the Bay Area saw many mutual aid efforts spring up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jarring nature of a global pandemic, paired with an economic downturn that left millions unemployed and unable to pay for basic necessities, left many to turn to mutual aid when local, state and federal governments fell short of providing the kind of support they needed. Many of these efforts received widespread media attention and subsequent financial support throughout 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic really taught us a lesson that everybody really needs to rely on one another,” Pham said. “When one person is hurt, the rest of the community is in pain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As time went on, though, organizers say that mainstream coverage — and funding — slowly started to fizzle out in many ways. But those involved in mutual aid work, like Pham and his friends, haven’t stopped organizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Romanticized’ vs. reality\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Mutual aid is work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers invest countless hours each week to raise funds, find food and other essential goods, and maintain an online presence to let folks know what resources are available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11911145\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11911145\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54181_038_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54181_038_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54181_038_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54181_038_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54181_038_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54181_038_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gabriela Alemán, alongside a group of volunteers, packs bread, fruit, vegetables, eggs and milk into boxes during a Guerrer@s de la Ciudad food distribution event at Homey, a nonprofit focused on social and community justice issues in San Francisco’s Mission District on March 5, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>No one knows that as well Gabriela Alemán, co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://missionmealscoalition.org/\">Mission Meals Coalition\u003c/a> (MMC), a mutual aid network created in San Francisco’s Mission District a few weeks after city officials announced its shelter-in-place order in March 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People see the pictures and they like to hear the updates. But the reality is mutual aid is really, really hard,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alemán, along with her sister Xiomara and her friend María Castro Noboa, began MMC by connecting immigrant families and seniors across the Bay Area to free warm meals and fresh groceries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They later opened up \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11853703/support-is-the-force-at-family-led-mission-meals-coalition-serving-the-community-runs-deep\">a free fridge in the Mission where residents could drop off food so others could take what they needed\u003c/a> — at a time when many residents had lost their jobs, and were struggling to keep up with expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group started MMC while they were holding down full-time jobs. They were doing all of this in their free time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after the fridge opened, news outlets across the region — including KQED — were drawn to MMC. Alemán acknowledges that media coverage played a big role in spreading the word about the group, but says there’s a lot more to the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mutual aid was really romanticized, especially with the fridge program,” she said. “Across the country, people were covering these fridges. They had gorgeous images of the fridges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the reality is it’s really hard to maintain a free fridge. There’s so many safety concerns around fridges — and I like to use that kind of as a metaphor for what mutual aid is,” said Alemán.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the group still operates the fridge, they’ve grown to now distribute boxes of food to hundreds of families and workers in San Francisco and the North Bay. This also includes boxes catered specifically to folks with diabetes or prediabetes; baby food for new parents; and dental kits to promote oral health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11911147\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11911147\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54171_028_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54171_028_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54171_028_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54171_028_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54171_028_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54171_028_KQED_HomeyFoodDistribution_03052022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Community members repack food boxes into bags they can carry home during a Guerrer@s de la Ciudad food distribution event at Homey, a nonprofit focused on social and community justice issues, in San Francisco’s Mission District on March 5, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Food justice goes beyond providing a single meal, Alemán explains.

You can’t find that anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s some of the critical work that was left out during the flurry of media coverage in 2020, says Alemán.

That visibility helped raise awareness about the food distribution work the group was doing — and folks outside of West Oakland started volunteering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers and donations from outside the community have shifted in the past two years, but Belachew says that the support from within West Oakland among residents has stayed strong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you build with us, you’re not here for one summer, one event, one moment. You’re here for the entirety of the organization,” she said. “And we’re investing in you as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the beginning, People’s Programs has envisioned creating permanent support networks for Black people in the Bay Area, Belachew says. And the media buzz around mutual aid efforts during 2020 — amplified by protests after George Floyd’s murder and the accompanying reckoning with racial justice in the country — did introduce this work to a wider audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11911171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1170px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11911171\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55313_Image-from-iOS-22-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1166\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55313_Image-from-iOS-22-qut.jpg 1170w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55313_Image-from-iOS-22-qut-800x797.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55313_Image-from-iOS-22-qut-1020x1017.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55313_Image-from-iOS-22-qut-160x159.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the West Oakland-based mutual aid organization People’s Programs. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Yemi Belachew)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Belachew says that this profile also made it easier for institutions like governments and corporations to appropriate the term, and use it for purposes that weren’t necessarily rooted in community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"bayareabites_139183\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/iStock-1165146004-1020x574.jpg\"]“Mutual aid as a concept has been co-opted by the state, by the media and other organizations,” she said. “Originally, the idea of mutual aid was that we were creating systems of support outside of this genocidal government — that we were supporting each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that she’s continuing to learn what mutual aid can look like from other folks doing the work on the ground around the Bay Area and the country.

And in the Vietnamese community, he notes, “the mutual aid effort really started out from helping underprivileged folks here and in Vietnam.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After North Vietnamese forces took control in Vietnam in 1975, the Bay Area saw an influx of Vietnamese migrants.

He noted that there are many words and phrases in English that do not have a direct translation in Vietnamese — just one reason these conversations are critical for monolingual residents to feel fully prepared when standing up for themselves at their workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about mutual aid, it’s not just putting funds together, but also putting our heads together … to get accurate information to the community so that they can understand the pandemic,” Pham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11911165\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11911165\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55310_RS54088_VASC_MutualAid-10-qut-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55310_RS54088_VASC_MutualAid-10-qut-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55310_RS54088_VASC_MutualAid-10-qut-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55310_RS54088_VASC_MutualAid-10-qut-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55310_RS54088_VASC_MutualAid-10-qut-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS55310_RS54088_VASC_MutualAid-10-qut-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ngûyen Pham of the Vietnamese American Roundtable, pictured at work in the Vietnamese American Service Center on March 4, 2022. \u003ccite>(Amaya Edwards/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When translating complicated labor laws, it’s not easy to balance both the original meaning in English \u003cem>and\u003c/em> cultural or linguistic cues in Vietnamese. But Pham and his colleagues at the Vietnamese American Roundtable have gotten a lot of practice in the past two years from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11872941/cultural-brokers-for-our-families-young-vietnamese-americans-fight-online-misinformation-for-the-community\">translating public health updates on COVID-19\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also using these skills to tackle tough conversations with older generations. “The younger Vietnamese generations who were born here, or who came here at a young age — there is some misunderstanding between them and the seniors who came here after 1975 with a lot of trauma from the war,” Pham explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do you even explain racial equity in Vietnamese?” he asks. “How do you bridge that gap?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pham remains hopeful that mutual aid has the power to change how many in his community think. His elders who first set up the first mutual aid networks in the South Bay Vietnamese community taught him that this work can take years, decades and even generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He now mentors high school students to pass on this knowledge, to make this work easier for younger folks. “It’s just a labor of love,” Pham said. “They are what keeps me going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
