We’ve handed the megaphone to Farudh Emiel Majid, Director of Mutual Aid at Southside Action Pact. Learn how he employed community fridges and libraries to empower his community!

Southside Action Pact is a mutual aid organization that engages in relief towards systemic disparities, such as food inequity, quality of life, and political empowerment in the predominant powered Black and Brown community in Southeast Queens.

Farudh's amazing work has inspired a new generation of community activism that is truly inspiring to learn about.

You'll learn;

How his work was inspired by the Black Panther Party
How they rely on social media as well as face-to-face interactions to support their community,
And Farudh's vision for a future where activists are properly paid for their service, and communities are run by the people themselves, operating outside of capitalistic modes.
