Walking around a campus the other day and saw several posters referencing making money donations to a cause to in support of a “mutual” aid action. How is “mutual” aid different than just donating to a non profit / NGO?

“Regular aid” is more like charity, whereby you give money or resources to someone else without expecting anything in return yourself.

Mutual Aid is where groups of people group together to benefit one another.

For example, the concept of a “[library of things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_things)” is a good example of this.
