Global Solidarity Network Seattle (GSNS)

Neighbors helping neighbors. No salaries, no bureaucracy, just people showing up. Every resource we share and every hand we extend comes from a simple belief: nobody should face hardship alone.

100 percent volunteer run. Zero paid staff.

GSNS is a small but relentless mutual aid collective rooted in land justice, dignity, and community survival. We tried the big systems, the policy paths, the nonprofit playbook. They were already too far gone. So we chose a different road, one where people take care of each other directly.

We help connect neighbors with resources, coordinate free store sites, raise emergency funds, and share information about mutual aid efforts responding to displacement, hunger, and crisis. Everything we do is powered by volunteers offering their time, skills, and resources freely.

We believe disabled comrades belong in every part of mutual aid, including organizing, planning, and direct action. Care work takes many forms. Not all contribution looks the same, and participation is not measured by physical capacity, speed, or visibility. We are committed to building practices that welcome disabled volunteers and neighbors, learning and adapting as we go.

GSNS does not provide services in the traditional sense. We do not employ staff, operate formal transportation or delivery services, or manage third party projects. Volunteers choose how and when they participate, using their own resources and judgment. Projects and initiatives shared on this site that are not directly run by GSNS are independently organized.

Our role is to support, uplift, and help connect people wherever possible, not to control or oversee community led work. There are no hierarchies, no waitlists, and no paperwork designed to gatekeep care. Just people helping people, however we can, for as long as we can.

Our mission is to meet urgent needs today while growing the kind of community that could not only survive tomorrow, but live free.

Mutual aid is collective, voluntary, and community led. Participation is always by choice.
