From the Bay Area mutual aid crew!
Note, Olga and Liz will be at this event to give out Mini Fix it Kits, accessories. We will set up to do wheelchair and other assistive tech inspections in the swap space! And, we will happily teach you some useful preventative maintenance, and can also help to connect you with repair resources for more complex problems.
April 25th 2026 from 1-5pm in Berkeley! Don’t miss our second mutual aid swap: Medical Equipment Edition!
📣We’re back!!! After a hugely successful first mutual aid swap, we are finally ready to host our second swap.
This time we’re asking for medical supplies, equipment and food donations! We know that cuts to Medicaid are impending and it’s expensive as fuck to be alive right now. We know many disabled people have a surplus of medical supplies in their garage/closet/storage unit. We want to help distribute it to folks in our neighborhood who need it!
Come by from 1-5pm on Saturday, April 25th on the corner of Rose and Sacramento St. in Berkeley.
You can help by coming to the swap, bringing any extra supplies that you have, or come to pick up supplies you need.
