Distro HTX is an anarchist mutual-aid organization committed to feeding, clothing, and emotionally supporting our unhoused neighbors. Distro teams organize across the city to coordinate life changing mutual-aid. Teams of comrades collect supplies, cook meals, and distribute aid at multiple encampments.
Comrades on the ground do community outreach, share meals, and build solidarity with the encampment residents.
We need your help!
An accident, job loss, or personal tragedy is all it takes to become unhoused. When factoring in the cost of emergency services, it is cheaper to immediately house the houseless.
However, the state intentionally denies pathways to housing. As it turns out, forcing thousands to sleep outdoors is a powerful tool of oppression. This is done to strike fear into the hearts of workers everywhere.
When workers are afraid, we do not organize.
By building bonds with the unhoused, we can undermine that tool of oppression. Distro HTX eases the mental, emotional, and physical suffering of the unhoused.
Our comrades provide healthy food, water, first aid, clothing, and much more. We also share stories, talk, eat together, and form long lasting bonds that benefit everyone.
SOLIDARITY, NOT CHARITY
The Distro Difference:
- Giving unconditionally
- Treating our unhoused friends as equals
- Meeting the unhoused at the encampments where they live
- Bringing fresh home-cooked food that we ourselves eat
- Maintaining years-long friendships with our unhoused neighbors
This works combats loneliness, alienation, and oppression. If you want to make friends, build new skills, learn recipes, and create lifelong memories, please join us.
