QueeNS Mutual Aid
An arts-centered network, holding space for civic education, mental wellness, community actions rooted in mutual aid, and climate justice. QMA operates with a non-hierarchical organizing structure, which means that anyone who participates can help shape its direction. We work mostly in the Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona area of Queens, NYC.
