KC Tenants Mutual Aid Fund

We must love and protect one another, always but especially now. While our Federal, state and local governments fail to provide the resources needed to take care of our communities, KC Tenants is moving to provide for our people in our base who need help right now. We are not direct service providers. We are organizers. But in times like this, we have to act in radical solidarity with the leaders in our base, and we have to meet each other where we’re at. We can’t organize without meeting basic needs. 

Part of what makes KC Tenants so strong is we are made up of deeply impacted, tenant leaders-- those closest to the problem and therefore, closest to the solution. We are single moms, the elderly, working-class, of color, queer, homeless and people of various physical and mental abilities-- which makes us strong! But in times like this, it also means we are more vulnerable. The COVID-19 outbreak will hit our people the hardest because we don't have the safety net and resources others do to stock up and stay home. 

In a time of crisis, we can respond to the needs of our community with collective power and mutual aid. Your donation will go toward food and supple orders for KC Tenants leaders during this outbreak so we can stay home and stay healthy as well as reimbursing for transportation and other related costs. We will adjust the goal as necessary according to the need and duration of this effort.
