Welcome
Hello, I am Victor I make stuff including websites and I live @205, call me Ag. This site is running on a prototype server in my house. Part of a larger mutual aid project I'm working on. I was making sites and thought it might be useful here. It costs very little to run from home. I have several.
What is the site for?
This site is not part of the residents association. A residents assocation is the group we select to represent us legally in dealings with the park. Without this group we cannot negotiate collectively. That is the sole purpose of that group and it is limited in scope as outlined in Chapter 723. There is a page on this site regarding the Residents Assocation> and there will be more on this topic, but this site is not limited by or connected to the assocation or the landlord. What we put here is up to us.This site is a mutual aid hub, a tenants union of sorts. where we can address more than lot rent and park management. We can talk about mutual aid, evictions, land management, we can provide support to one another, sell goods and services to eachother, talk politics or even sports. This is not just about the park its about community.
What is Mutual Aid
Mutual aid isn't an act, it is a process. A process built on the understanding that what benefits my neighbor benefits me. We are the ones who will be there when a hurricane hits. External systems will never respond as quickly as the people here do. A strong community is a sustainable one.
Mutual aid is when the community comes together to develop locally owned and managed solutions to needs the existing external systems continioulsy fall short on.Local sustainability
Every dollar we pay someone local is a dollar kept in the community. A dollar more likely to be spent right here and kept in circulation. Buying online takes the dollar out, immediately from a big box store it takes most. The more outside ownership/control the more there is taken out. Depending on how many self checkouts they have.
Keeping solutions local we are making them sustainable.. Mutual aid work to build permanent solutions, locally owned and operated by those who depend upon them most. Local solutions are sustainable solutions
Finding or making answers locally keeps the benefits locally. Money spent in a local store will most likely be respent in the community, whereas money spent in a big box store is removing most of the money from the community. Keeping profits locally strengtens locally. This also protects us during periods of disaster, not needing to rely on outside sources which will be cut off when disaster strikes.
There are things we cannot control or source locally, but the more we do the more sustainable we become. Gnomeaid works to expand these possibilites.
