COYOTE@coyotemedia· Jan 28

Late last year, Vincent D and his friends were feeling down about how stretched thin their community seemed to be. But what is there to really do about it? Turns out, a lot! www.coyotemedia.org/i-hosted-a-m...

A hand drawn black and white comic that says "I hosted a mutual aid swap in my back hard and so can you! by Vincent D." Around the words are several animals, including a squirrel, an owl, a raccoon, and a pigeon.

A hand drawn black and white comic featuring several animals hanging around chatting. At the top left it says "Berkeley, CA November 2025." The squirrel says "Damn... people in my mutual aid group chats are asking for $25 to pay a bill... a pair of socks... folks are really struggling!" The owl says "The food pantry line was so long today... These SNAP cuts are so brutal." The raccoon says "And it's only going to get worse." The squirrel says "I'm so sick of watching all of us pass the same $20 back and forth! This town is full of millionaires, and people can't afford SOCKS?" The owl says "it's infuriating... at least people are doing some great mutual aid work." The raccoon says "I saw some folks online do a free swap market... it would be so cool to do something like that here!" The squirrel says, "well... we do have a big back yard." The raccoon says "... and we know a lot of folks in need." The squirrel says "FUCK IG! Let's get people some free shit!"

A hand drawn black and white comic that shows animals going all over town askig for and gathering up supplies. The squirrel says "Okay we picked a date, and now we need donations of food, clothes, art, and COVID supplies! Time to leverage our communities!" The raccoon says "I reached out to our local mask bloc!" and "I knocked on our neighbors doors and asked if they had food or other items to spare!" The frog says "I checked if my local library distributes COVID supplies!" The squirrel says "I asked local artist friends (who I kenew could spare the income) to donate their art so people could take it home as gifts" and "I asked for donations from people I know have extra to give, such as wealthy friends from church and work, and my rec sports team!" A caption says "We were floored by everyone's generosity. Well... almost everyone." A beaver wearing an apron that says "progressive grocery store" says "Sorry, you're not a 501 C3..."

A hand drawn black and white comic that shows an owl flying over several places — churches, encampments, parks and bus stops. The owl says "I'll post flyers for our event in places where our vulnerable neighbors will see them." The raccoon says "don't forget to post flyers on social media!" Then we see animals all carrying tables, chairs, signs and supplies. The pigeon says "Last but not least, we gathered a small army of friends to help us setup." Below, the scene is set with tables full of clothes, food, art, and COVID supplies. The raccoon says "we did it." The squirrel says "oh God, I hope people come..."

They Have Names: Hind Rajab, in her voice

New Year’s Day Hike
If you're not hungover (or maybe even if you are) there's no better way to start a new year than with a hike. Get out of the house, touch grass, and maybe set a tone for the year in which you aren't scrolling on your phone for 12 hours a day. Cut it down to 11 this year. I believe in you.
