Warm wishes of wellness to all. We are deeply grateful to be in community with those of you, who like us, embrace the justice and care components of our university mission. 

 

The New School Mutual Aid Collective was created in an effort to provide a proactive response to multiple crises.  We began as a group of seven and this fall we will be a group of three due to sabbatical leaves, new administrative workloads, and departures. Additionally, the number of requests for support have decreased over the last year. As of September 22, 2022, we have raised $34,378.66 from 188 contributors, with recurring monthly contributions of $660.00.  We have distributed $23,926.83 to date.  Our current balance is $10,451.83. 

If you are experiencing reduced employment, separation from the university, altered work schedules, life challenges such as increased medical expenses, or an increase in household needs (food, childcare, eldercare, or transportation due to being required to be on campus - particularly extended to those who feel unsafe using public transportation), use the New School Mutual Aid Form to articulate the assistance you require.  We are here for you. You can learn more about our history and our work here.

 

We are deeply grateful to those who have contributed funds to this effort.  Your generosity speaks volumes on the truest meaning of community. Thank You for your donations.  

 

In Community,
