Barter Up and One Free Community (OFC) join forces to challenge capitalism’s impact on community support, fostering innovative spaces for meaningful exchanges and mutual aid. Driven by frustration with consumerism, Barter Up created events where goods and services are traded through donations or a “pay what you can” model. Collaborating with OFC, they exemplify the power of united communities, exchanging insights and inspiring positive change while magnifying the impact of mutual aid groups for social justice.
