Hi all!! I'm Hannah from Medford/Somerville, MA. I'm a co-coordinator of MAMAS mutual aid medford and somerville Thanks so much for making such a replicable resource available to folks! Been seeing groups using your template popping up everywhere. I own the bit.ly/covid19collectivecare doc and am currently trying to put various people who're trying to figure out a better way to organize all this info in touch... let me know if you or folks you work with have any 1) input on that conversation and what would be helpful to people on the local level or 2) want to help out with digital upkeep! | 02:55:26 |

On the local level, it's been equal parts cool and overwhelming to see so many docs like this trying to collect everything you know? Would love to brainstorm about how we can be consolidating resources and making them less overwhelming lol. Amazing work pulling all of this together! So appreciative of the community that is popping up. | 03:01:06 |

I think it's great you have a slack specifically to address those needs with a mutual aid focus! Hopeful folks are using it. Hopping in now what do you think of the idea of getting some quarantined volunteers to consolidate the different resources into small documents that link to each other, like a wiki? keeping the big, popular documents at their present urls, and replacing the smaller documents with links to the bigger ones | 10:57:21 |
