Baldwin House and Ward 1 Mutual Aid are so excited to partner with DC Zine Fest to host a zine & book swap, a zine-making workshop, and share a NEW zine made by Baldwin House tenant steward, Shayna, about our mutual aid organizing and the history of mutual aid in DC.

This is part of Neighbors Support Neighbors, a mutual aid event series at Baldwin House every third Saturday of the month.

Accessibility: The event will take place outside, and we will have seating available. Our bathroom is up two flights of stairs. If you’re feeling sick, please stay home, take care of yourself, and we’ll see you at the next event. For additional accessibility needs or questions, please email baldwinhousecoop@gmail.com.

Get involved!

• Support neighbors through mutual aid! We host distributions and canvassing at Baldwin House on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Next distro: March 21

• Organize with us!

• Donate directly to our campaign to pay off our loan and build the mutual aid hub. Every donation, no matter the size, disrupts displacement and invests in Black and brown land stewardship in one of the most rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods in the U.S.!
