A quick definition of mutual aid:

Mutual aid is when people help each other out by sharing resources and services. This can include things like food, medical care, and supplies. It's a way for people to build new relationships and support each other during tough times, like natural disasters or economic crises. Even though it's voluntary, it can make a big difference in people's lives.

A more thorough explanation:

Mutual aid is when people voluntarily exchange services and resources to benefit each other. It helps build new social relationships and allows people to give what they can and receive what they need. Mutual aid is especially important during times of crisis, such as natural disasters or pandemics, when people may need help with things like food, medical care, or supplies.

In the context of labor law, mutual aid agreements between different agencies or subdivisions do not change the volunteer nature of the services provided. For example, if two towns have a mutual aid agreement related to fire protection, a firefighter who works for one town and volunteers for the other will not have their volunteer hours counted as part of their employment hours.

  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, many mutual aid networks were formed to help people who were struggling with things like food insecurity or lack of access to medical care.
  • After Hurricane Katrina, people from all over the country came together to provide mutual aid to those affected by the disaster.
  • In some communities, people participate in time banks where they exchange services like childcare or home repairs with each other.

These examples illustrate how mutual aid can help people come together to support each other during difficult times. By sharing resources and skills, people can help meet each other's needs and build stronger communities.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
