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?

Generally decentralized, community based direct aid action, largley without the support of larger nonprofits, governments, or religious organizations. These groups are generally more involved with the individual and unique needs of a community than the larger, more hierarchical orginized efforts, often from outside these communities.
