Mutual aid is local and relationship-based. If you don't have local resources, who exactly is supposed to be doing the aiding?
(And I ask this as someone who is very much interested in mutual aid frameworks as a mode of localized resistance and resilience)

The most robust US models for mutual aid draw on existing local resourced communities (established immigrant, established Jewish communities, established free Black communities) assisting newcomers (immigrants, Black people newly escaped/freed from enslavement) in an organized way.
