It’s an okay place to start, but it really starts by building community locally. If you don’t have enough decent people locally to work with to build a mutual aid group, then… that’s a tougher situation. When you’re stuck in largely Republican areas, it can be quite difficult to find others who want to build such groups, but not impossible.
As a Washington state resident, it seems like sane people are well represented here, by our voting numbers. So if you can get out here, not the worst place to ride out this storm.
More people in Washington should be willing to open their doors for people who need to get away, honestly. I’m really trying to push my extended family to get more active, because there’s going to be a lot of people who need help, a lot.
I’m interested in supporting mutual aid. Any good reference sources?

Both The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Freedom Road Socialist Organization do work with Mutual Aid. If you’re more interested in feeding the needy specifically, Food Not Bombs does great work.
