Enjoying these Sundays in the park while the weather is still nice. Always feel free to contact us if you're interested in coming to hang out and help out your neighbors. 🖤

People often thank us for what we do, but all the credit for this one is yours. THANK YOU so much for contributing to our fundraiser! You have made a difference in the lives of a lot of people this week! 🖤🖤🖤

If you are looking to buy a cheap 3 person tent at Walmart in southwest Omaha today, we are very sorry

Hi, all. We're trying to raise $500 to help out our unhoused neighbors who lost tents and tarps in Wednesday night's storm. We appreciate all the support from the community.

Hi! We've been on here for quite a while now, but we've never properly introduced ourselves (admin is notoriously bad at introducing themself, so not surprising). We are Omaha Autonomous Action, a mutual aid collective that has been doing our best to help out in the community for 5 years now.

Who is in charge of OAA? Nobody, and everybody. There is no boss, no board of directors, only people coming together to help meet the needs of others in the community. How can I help OAA? Well, you can donate via Venmo or Cashapp, subscribe to our Patreon, or donate goods and/or time (links in bio)

If you have any other questions, you can always reach out here, or on Instagram. Times are tough, but together we can make things just a little bit easier for each other. Thank you to everyone who has helped us be able to do this work for the past 5 years, and hopefully for many years to come. 🖤

Currently our weekly Street Kitchen is Sundays from 2:00-3:00 p.m. at Walnut Hill Park, right by the fountain. If the weather is bad we are probably in the basement of Augustana Lutheran Church, right across the street. Either way, we are out there every Sunday, rain or shine.

Common questions we are asked: Are we a church group? No. Even though Augustana generously makes their basement space available to us, we have no religious affiliation as a group. Is Street Kitchen only for unhoused people? No. Anyone can come eat or pick up supplies at Kitchen.

The lesson learned today is show up early if you want raspberry tea

A HUGE thank you to @nebraskaforus.bsky.social. Lunch is definitely served

Hi, all, it’s been a while! I assure you we are still out here and have been staying busy trying to help community members meet their needs.

It’s that time of year when temperatures start to rise, and unfortunately, so are the needs of the community. As always, we greatly appreciate your generosity which helps us continue our work, but right now the greatest need might be you.

If you have been looking to make a material difference in the lives of your neighbors, if you have been looking for a way to be involved in something, if you have just been looking for a way to get out of the house and meet some friendly people, consider checking out OAA. DM any questions 🖤

Hi, all, it’s been a while! I assure you we are still out here and have been staying busy trying to help community members meet their needs.

Hard to believe we’ve been at our new location at Walnut Hill Park (and thanks to the generosity of the congregation of Augustana Lutheran Church, in the church basement when the weather isn’t ideal), for over 7 months now, but so far things have been going well.

A friend & street kitchen regular has hit a rough patch & needs help to make rent! He's an incredible organizer who has done so much for street kitchen since we moved to Walnut Hill in November, including welcoming us to the neighborhood & helping us build a strong relationship with the community.

If you are looking for a mutual aid distro to spend a weekend day with, just let us know

Mel Buer@melbuer.bsky.social

We clock in as we always do, and then when we clock out, we get back to work. We do it tired, we do it scared, we do it after we put the kids to bed and get the bills paid. We spend one weekend day at the mutual aid distro, instead of two weekend days at the bar. We have to. That's it

One of our longtime members needs our support! Addison is a passionate ally who has given so much of her time & resources to the community over the years. It would be amazing if we could give back & help her with costs as she fights cancer. Thank you for your support www.gofundme.com/f/help-addis...

Hello Omaha! The weekly OAA Street Kitchen is moving to a new location. Starting Sunday November 2nd, Kitchen and distro will be at Walnut Hill Park by 38th and Hamilton every Sunday from 2-3. Tomorrow will be a little celebration, and we hope to see some of y'all there!

First of all we want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who's donated their time, supplies, or funds in the last week. It's greatly appreciated and we're on track to continue our normal request schedule! Without our community we wouldn't be able to do what we do.

We want to remind folks that what we do doesn't have to be unique. Help make your neighbors a meal, pass off some supplies, cash, or just chat with those in your community and learn how we can all support each other. Hoping everyone is staying safe and warm!

If you have any extra time, or supplies, reach out to us! As always, any extra funds are also greatly appreciated Venmo- @OmahaAutonomous Cashapp- $OmahaAutonomous Patreon- www.patreon.com/omahaautonomousaction

It's finally fall! It's been about a month since our last distro update, and we wanted to share what we've been up to! As always, we’ve had a busy few weeks. We had a delicious veggie stew with corn bread, pizza, chicken and rice bowls, pumpkin curry soup and tacos! As well as plenty of snacks

and hygiene supplies. Every week we see more new faces, and as assistance programs continue to be cut and prices go up, we don't expect that to change anytime soon. We know the small area of town we’re able to work in isn’t the only place where people are struggling.

Hi, we need your help. One of the things that sets OAA apart from many other mutual aid projects is our request process. It's something that we believe in very strongly, as it gives some of our most disenfranchised neighbors agency and autonomy.

At this rate, we can't afford to keep requests going. The attached pics give you an idea what a typical request week looks like.

If you've got the means, and it seems like a project you'd like to support, you can join our Patreon or send us a donation on Venmo or Cashapp. We know times are hard for everyone and only getting harder so anything you can spare is deeply appreciated.

They're not just choosing from (appreciated and very helpful) donations, but instead telling us exactly what they need and getting it. Unfortunately, because both the number of people requesting things and prices have gone up, it's becoming financially untenable to maintain.

Three years ago, we were able to buy requests every week, and get 3 needs and 3 wants for folks. Today, we've had to scale back to a limit of two items per person every other week. Even with that change, our last several request shops have each been more than our monthly Patreon payout.

Thank you to Urban Abbey for partnering with us on this! Drop off donations at Urban Abbey before November 16.

The temperatures have been more bearable the last few weeks, but with the increase in sweeps and pressure from police, demand is as high as ever.

Our unhoused neighbors really need the support of all in the community, now more than ever. Show up for your unhoused neighbors, whether that be providing a meal, supplies, cash, or just a chat. Mutual aid is a great way to build community and provide tangible assistance to those who need it.

Thank you to everyone who makes our Sunday Kitchens possible!
