Solidarity Through Direct Action!

Committed to building a stronger Detroit together!

Who is Eastside Mutual Aid?

Eastside Mutual Aid was started in 2020 to build solidarity amongst Eastside Detroit neighbors and residents. We want to liberate ourselves by building a self-sustaining community built on mutual aid and radical love. EMA operates food and clothing distributions, organizes actions and happenings to connect each other and build stronger ties.
