Building a Mutual Aid Model for Crisis Coverage

Thursday, September 11, 2025
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM CDT
Area of Focus: Resilience
Resilient communities take care of each other in crisis, making sure need is connected with resources. In the face of more and worsening disasters fueled by the climate crisis, what could it look like for journalists ourselves to have a mutual aid network to help each other in times of need?

Join this interactive session to hear from journalists on the front lines of recent disasters who contributed to and benefitted from ad-hoc mutual aid, and walk away insights, expertise, and actionable next steps to develop an intentional support network.
