Jesenia @NeuroSpicyNetworking, a Calling Up Justice collaborator and communications producer, built the Right to Mask Legislation sign-on page for the Right to Mask Coalition of Illinois.

Building Community Through Skill Sharing

The ability to connect with and mobilize community in times of political uncertainty, becomes essential. Having a digital presence isn’t just about visibility — it’s about creating spaces where communities can find each other, share resources, and organize for social change. NeuroSpicy Networking embodies this vision through their web development services, combining technical skills with a commitment to collective liberation. Their approach goes beyond traditional capitalist transactions, to build relationships that strengthen community connections. By offering sliding-scale and free services to marginalized communities, they’re putting mutual aid and resource sharing into practice.

This was demonstrated when the Right-to-Mask Coalition of Illinois needed a website and through disability justice networks, they found Jesenia @NeuroSpicyNetworking, who provided pro-bono services as part of their commitment to disability justice and mutual aid.

This model of technical skill sharing empowers grassroots movements. When communities have accessible digital spaces to gather and organize, they’re better equipped to create meaningful social change. Jesenia’s work shows how web development and skill sharing can be reimagined as a form of mutual aid, contributing to stronger community bonds and collective action.

Support this continued work by hiring Jesenia for your web development needs or contributing to their mutual aid fund, enabling them to provide more free services to marginalized communities and organizations.
