If you or someone you know has internet access, do a search for "mutual aid [city, state, etc.]" There should be some good resources depending on the location, and they're often community-run and very helpful.
Also, if you're reading this and looking to help in general, finding your local mutual aid group is a great way to support your community through donations or volunteer work! There can be questionable practices with large companies and how they handle donations/finances, so participating in something smaller can have a larger impact at your local level.

feeling angry/sad/anxious about the state of the world?? feeling like you shouldn’t even try to do anything about it because you can’t do anything as an individual?? look up mutual aid groups in your area! wild how something as simple as making sandwiches to share with your community can make you feel 10x better

i am just one person and while i can stay engaged and up to date, i can't solve all the horrors of this world. however, i can help my neighbor. i can do harm reduction. i can share what i have and if i don't have what you're looking for i probably know someone who does. mutual aid is satisfying like a community care jigsaw puzzle. it reminds me that the small connections matter and that there are caring people everywhere, often right down the street. and i've accidentally made lifelong friends in the process.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️ Liner Notes: This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
