AND you might find sunglasses or a nice hat to shield ","reading_time":1,"og_image":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"twitter_image":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"feature_image_alt":null,"feature_image_caption":null},"counterpart":{"id":"auto-es-counterpart","title":"Este domingo: ¡Regreso de la RRFM!","slug":"this-sunday-return-of-the-rrfm"}},"/en/blog/community-dinner-2026-05-05":{"post":{"id":"69efff7df4c2d6110f762610","title":"Community Dinner & Really Really Free Market: Practicing Mutual Aid Together","slug":"community-dinner-2026-05-05","html":"

We’re hoping to start a monthly rhythm as a way of practicing together, how to build a community where people can rely on one another.

On the first Tuesday of each month, we’ll host a Community Dinner. On the third Sunday, we’ll meet again at the Really Really Free Market (RRFM). We see these as spaces to learn, experiment, and grow into mutual aid, skill-sharing, and collective self-reliance, not as something we already have figured out, but something we’re building together over time.

At the Community Dinner, we will share food and drinks as we meet our neighbors. Everyone is welcome! A little while into the event, we'll take time to go around and introduce ourselves, sharing:

Skills/expertise we'd like to share with others
Skills we would like to learn
Needs we have, that we hope the community might be able to help with

After the go-around, we'll take some time to share projects and events that we are working on or hoping to start. Then we'll have some more time at the end for folks to chat.

🍽️

Community Dinner
When: Tuesday, May 5, 5:30-7:30pm
Where: Orange County Main Library, 137 W. Margaret Lane, Hillsborough

Then on the third Sunday of every month, we'll participate in the Really Really Free Market in Gold Park. The event is completely free. People bring what they want to give away and take whatever interests them.

This could also be a great place for people to meet up and continue their discussions from the Community Dinner or to offer skill-shares/workshops related to projects they're working on. This space is open to the community for sharing without commercial promotion or advertisement. Anyone can show up and put on a workshop, or offer to fix things for their neighbors, or paint children's faces. This is a space for celebrating the endless bounty of the gift economy!

🎈

Really Really Free Market
When: Sunday, May 17, 12-2pm
Where: Gold Park, 415 Dimmock's Mill Rd, Hillsborough

Together, these gatherings are an ongoing experiment in building relationships that aren’t based on transactions, but on trust, reciprocity, and care. If you’re interested in being part of a community that’s learning how to support itself - where it’s normal to both give and receive help - then you’re invited!

Bring what you no longer need. Take what your neighbors have shared. Feel the joy of seeing that you are not the only person who feels like we should be providing for each other instead of isolating and hoarding!

Hello friends! We have not one but TWO exciting events coming up next week!

\n \n

Community Dinner:

Local Project and Needs Edition

\n \n

📅 Date & Time: Tuesday April 7th, from 5:30pm-7:30pm
📍 Location: Orange County Library Meeting Room, 137 W Margaret Ln, Hillsborough
🍽️ What to bring: Yourself, maybe a dish to share

We'd love to gather for another community dinner - we thought we'd theme this iteration the Local Project and Needs edition.

There are a number of upcoming and ongoing projects in our community - we wanted to come together to discuss how we can best coordinate these efforts. Of course we want to eat together and grow closer as a community as well!

A few projects we'd like to discuss:

Hillsborough Really Really Free Market - What is the vision going forward?
Festival of Abundance - Organizers from MATCH in Carrboro are planning to attend our dinner to discuss the Festival of Abundance they're planning for May 23 & 24 and how we can help out.
Your Project! - We want to hear about what you have going on, what your dreams are, and how the community can support it.

A rough timeline for the evening:

5:30-6:00pm: Eat, chitchat, get to know neighbors, talk about your projects
6:00-6:30pm: Skills - What do we have/what do we need/what do we want to learn - go-around the room!
6:30-7:30pm: Projects share - let's take turns talking about what we have going on!

Hope to see you there!

Songwriting Workshop

with Jess Klein

\n \n

📅 Date & Time: Saturday April 11th, from 2:30-4:30 PM
📍 Location: Eno House's Fellowship Hall, 903 Eno St, Hillsborough

As a continuation of our ongoing skillshare series, we've arranged a songwriting workshop with our very own Jess Klein!

Class description:
Come get in touch with your inner songwriter in this workshop led by Hillsborough neighbor and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Jess Klein. We’ll start off with an exercise to get you writing right away, then talk about how to shake off your inner critic, release writer’s block, and structure a song for maximum impact. There will be time for valuable group feedback on works in progress. You’ll leave with the seed of something new, and more confidence in your unique self-expression, no matter your experience level.

More about Jess:
Jess Klein came to this world to pull firebrand power and childlike joy from our darkest shadows. Her acoustic-driven, hook-laden story songs revel in the polychrome of human experience - joy, rage, sensuality and resilience. The New York Times calls her “A songwriter with a voice of unblinking tenacity.”

Jess has toured the globe performing in pin-drop listening rooms, cozy theaters and at raucous festivals in front of tens of thousands. She has toured nationally and internationally supporting Arlo Guthrie, Josh Ritter, Damien Dempsey, and John Fullbright and has opened for such legends as Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle, Chuck Prophet and Alejandro Escovedo. Jess has appeared on Good Morning America and NPR’s All Things Considered and has performed at the Newport, Winnipeg, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals as well as Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.

Some of Jess’s songs, videos and more: https://jessklein.com/electronic-press-kit-epk

This workshop tackles the complicated legacies and resulting impact of the socialization of race, gender, and ethnicity in America. Through the use of small group discussions and self discovery exercises attendees will be challenged to personally embrace a community of belonging.

Join us at the Library for this special offering!!

Reminding you about the hotline!

We’ve set up a community support phone number that anyone in Hillsborough can call or text if they need resources or assistance:

\n\n

$\"📞\"$
Milkweed Resource Hotline: 919-590-0977

\n\n

Please help us by sharing this number with neighbors, friends, and community members who may not see this post - especially folks who are older, offline, or otherwise less connected. Our ability to support one another increases significantly when more people know this line exists.

A few important notes:

This is NOT an emergency line
We cannot guarantee assistance
We will do our best to coordinate offered resources and abilities with expressed needs

We’ll be using the communication network we’ve been intentionally building to extend our collective ability to care for one another during the storm.

Offering Help or Resources?

If you’re able to offer resources and/or abilities, please let us know in the Signal group chat.

If you’re not on Signal yet, this is a great time to join. The more offers of assistance we have documented, the more effective our coordination can be. Even if you’re not sure whether what you can offer will be needed, it’s helpful to know what’s available.

Click here to join the Signal group chat!

To support this effort, we’ll be maintaining an encrypted spreadsheet with minimal data only:

Name
Signal username or best contact method
Type of assistance offered

This allows us to coordinate responsibly while keeping information limited and secure.

Join us this Tuesday, August 4th from 5:30-7:30pm at the main branch of the Orange County Public Library (137 W. Margaret Lane, Hillsborough) for a Community Dinner!

Confusing error messages or apps closing unexpectedly
Setting up and understanding security features
Optimizing privacy settings
Understanding options for backing up data
Updating your device

We will have our usual go around for everyone to introduce themselves and share any projects we're working on. Then we'll dive in to helping each other navigate the exciting and scary world of mobile devices!

And in case you're wondering if AI wrote this - it didn't! Though, to be fair, it helped design the website and fix weird Linux and Ghost issues when I've encounter them.

But we're not talking about AI! We're talking about dinner and sharing and mobile devices! If that sounds like something you are interested in, or confused by, come to the library and we'll figure it out together!

Workshop: \"Diversity and Inclusion - It’s Personal\" hosted by Cassi Chandler

ℹ️

When: 6pm, Wednesday, February 11
Where: Orange County Library in Hillsborough

Canceling This Month’s Really Really Free Market (RRFM)

We’ve decided to cancel this month’s Really Really Free Market. While we know this event matters to many people, this pause gives us the space to reflect and regroup so that RRFM can be more sustainable and community-rooted moving forward.

A New Plan for RRFM: March Through June (at least!)

Looking ahead, we’re planning to attempt holding the Really Really Free Market every month from March through June, on the third Sunday of each month from 12-2pm in Gold Park.

This trial period will help us:

Evaluate whether a consistent monthly schedule is sustainable
Work toward building shared community ownership so RRFM becomes a Hillsborough institution rather than something tied to one group

If you’ve participated before - or have been curious about getting involved - this upcoming stretch will be an important opportunity to help shape what RRFM becomes.

As always, thank you for being part of a community that shows up for one another, especially in moments that call for care, coordination, and mutual support!

Also, here are some infographics that friends made to help prepare for the storm:

Our ability to support one another increases significantly when more people know this line exists.\n\nA few important notes:\n\n * This is NOT an emergency line\n * We cannot guarantee assistance\n * We will do our best to coordinate offered resources and abilities with expressed needs\n\nWe’ll be using the communication network we’ve been intentionally building to extend our collective ability to care for one another during the storm.\n\nOffering Help or Resources?\n\n\nIf you’re able to offer resources and/or abilities, please let us know in the Signal group chat.\n\nIf you’re not on Signal yet, this is a great time to join. The more offers of assistance we have documented, the more effective our coordination can be. Even if you’re not sure whether what you can offer will be needed, it’s helpful to know what’s available.\n\nClick here to join the Signal group chat!\n\nTo support this effort, we’ll be maintaining an encrypted spreadsheet with minimal data only:\n\n * Name\n * Signal username or best contact method\n * Type of assistance offered\n\nThis allows us to coordinate responsibly while keeping information limited and secure.\n\n\nWorkshop: \"Diversity and Inclusion - It’s Personal\" hosted by Cassi Chandler\n\n\nℹ️When: 6pm, Wednesday, February 11\nWhere: Orange County Library in Hillsborough\n\nThis workshop tackles the complicated legacies and resulting impact of the socialization of race, gender, and ethnicity in America. Through the use of small group discussions and self discovery exercises attendees will be challenged to personally embrace a community of belonging.\n\n\nCanceling This Month’s Really Really Free Market (RRFM)\n\n\nWe’ve decided to cancel this month’s Really Really Free Market. While we know this event matters to many people, this pause gives us the space to reflect and regroup so that RRFM can be more sustainable and community-rooted moving forward.\n\n\nA New Plan for RRFM: March Through June (at least!)\n\n\nLooking ahead, we’re planning to attempt holding the Really Really Free Market every month from March through June, on the third Sunday of each month from 12-2pm in Gold Park.\n\nThis trial period will help us:\n\n * Evaluate whether a consistent monthly schedule is sustainable\n * Work toward building shared community ownership so RRFM becomes a Hillsborough institution rather than something tied to one group\n\nIf you’ve participated before - or have been curious about getting involved - this upcoming stretch will be an important opportunity to help shape what RRFM becomes.\n\nAs always, thank you for being part of a community that shows up for one another, especially in moments that call for care, coordination, and mutual support!\n\nAlso, here are some infographics that friends made to help prepare for the storm:\n","custom_excerpt":null,"feature_image":null,"published_at":"2026-01-22T14:45:41.000-05:00","canonical_url":null,"authors":[{"id":"68e25db17c5b4b6e4b8d3f3f","name":"Ryan","slug":"ryan","profile_image":"https://ghost.milkweedmutualaid.org/content/images/2025/02/IMG_8081-89ed27d574b63d88.jpeg","cover_image":null,"bio":null,"website":null,"location":null,"facebook":null,"twitter":null,"meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"threads":null,"bluesky":null,"mastodon":null,"tiktok":null,"youtube":null,"instagram":null,"linkedin":null}],"tags":[{"id":"69c824a7c9a02d1d7d7e6e31","name":"en","slug":"en","description":null,"feature_image":null,"visibility":"public","og_image":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"twitter_image":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"codeinjection_head":null,"codeinjection_foot":null,"canonical_url":null,"accent_color":null}],"excerpt":"⚠️ Community Support Line for This Weekend’s Storm\n\n\nWe’ve set up a community support phone number that anyone in Hillsborough can call or text if they need resources or assistance:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📞\nMilkweed Resource Hotline: 919-590-0977\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease help us by sharing this number with neighbors, friends, and community members who may not see this post - especially folks who are older, offline, or otherwise less connected.

Debido al pronóstico del tiempo, estamos reprogramando este Really Really Free Market una semana después, para el domingo 25 de enero (todavía de 12:00 p. m. a 2:00 p. m.).

Próximo Domingo 25 de enero, de 12:00 a 14:00 horas., Really Really Free Market regresa a Gold Park. Puede que haga frío afuera, pero estar juntos en el espacio común tiene su propio tipo de calidez. Ven a compartir lo que puedas, toma lo que necesites o simplemente preséntate y esté rodeado de gente. Es un espacio para que los vecinos se reúnan, para que las cosas no utilizadas encuentren una nueva vida y para pasar tiempo juntos sin dinero ni intercambio: solo comunidad.

Le pedimos que se lleve a casa cualquier artículo que haya traído y que no haya sido reclamado. Este pequeño paso nos ayuda a hacer las maletas con mayor facilidad y facilita albergar estos mercados con mayor frecuencia.

¡Nos vemos el próximo domingo!

Hi Milkweed Butterflies,

As many of you know, ICE has been coming in strong these days with their attempts and successes in violently kidnapping our friends and neighbors.

Durham Friends have been generous in offering for us to join their ICE watch training for those of us who want to help verify ICE activity/verify ICE presence.

The training is on SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1st. from 10 AM to 11:30 AM at the DURHAM FRIENDS MEETING HOUSE: 404 Alexander Ave in Durham.

You can sign up for the training here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/ice-watch-training-durham-111/

All are welcome. We do ask that you take home any items you brought that remain unclaimed. This small step helps us pack up more smoothly and makes it easier to host these markets more often.

And as always, in the spirit of sharing: everything is free, no selling, no promotion—just community and generosity.

Join us for a community dinner to talk about what safety really means in our town!

Recently, the town entered into a contract with Flock Safety, a company that sells automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. After residents spoke out at a town meeting, the Board of Commissioners listened and voted to cancel that contract. That decision was an important moment because it showed that when our community participates and speaks from our values, our voices are heard.

Now, the company is asking the town to reconsider.

Before any new decisions are made, let's come together as neighbors to share a meal, talk openly, and reaffirm what kind of community we want to be.

Why this conversation matters

Hillsborough's Comprehensive Sustainability Plan talks about fairness, inclusion, and trust. It calls for government that listens, and for public spaces where everyone feels welcome. Those aren't abstract goals - they are promises we make to one another.

Surveillance cameras - even ones that claim to be \"smart,\" \"secure,\" or \"AI-powered\" - move us in the opposite direction. They shift our town from a place that trusts its people to a place that monitors them.

Even if the technology worked perfectly and every police officer used it responsibly, the problem remains: when data about our daily movements is collected, stored, and shared, we no longer control it. History shows that this kind of power is easily abused, especially when federal agencies or administrations have priorities different from our own. Once the data exists, we can't decide who it protects and who it harms.

Right now, across the country, we're seeing how surveillance tools can be turned against immigrants, activists, journalists, families. But we're also seeing communities come together to reject these tools!

What we lose when we trade privacy for \"security\"

Surveillance doesn't just watch \"bad guys.\" It watches everyone.

It can make people afraid to attend a protest, visit a clinic, or even drive across town, especially those who already live under greater scrutiny.

True safety comes from connection, care, and accountability, not from constant monitoring.

Regardless of whether this particular system is ever adopted, there will always be another one being sold to us. Just next door in Durham, residents are pushing back against Peregrine, a startup from a former Palantir executive that helps police combine surveillance data into one system, expanding the reach of monitoring even further.

We build real safety when neighbors know one another, when public spaces are open and welcoming, and when local government earns trust by acting transparently and fairly.

Let’s talk about the kind of town we want to be

We invite everyone, supporters and skeptics alike, to join us. Bring a dish, bring your questions, bring your hopes for Hillsborough.

Are you like where the heck is Mayo Park?! You're not the only one! It's the tiny park with a bench on King St across from Los Altos/Nomad/That pharmacy etc.

Be sure to go revel in what we made together and to check out all the other incredible installations across Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough. And while you're taking in the magic of the mobile, be sure the scan the QR code so you can vote it as your fave! Find out more about the fest here.

The mobile is titled \"“But then there were the seeds to plant” which comes from the poem \"When the World as We Knew It Ended” by Joy Harjo (pasted at the end of this post).

When the World as We Knew It Ended
By Joy Harjo

We were dreaming on an occupied island at the farthest edge
of a trembling nation when it went down.

Two towers rose up from the east island of commerce and touched
the sky. Men walked on the moon. Oil was sucked dry
by two brothers. Then it went down. Swallowed
by a fire dragon, by oil and fear.
Eaten whole.

It was coming.

We had been watching since the eve of the missionaries in their
long and solemn clothes, to see what would happen.

We saw it
from the kitchen window over the sink
as we made coffee, cooked rice and
potatoes, enough for an army.

We saw it all, as we changed diapers and fed
the babies. We saw it,
through the branches
of the knowledgeable tree
through the snags of stars, through
the sun and storms from our knees
as we bathed and washed
the floors.

The conference of the birds warned us, as they flew over
destroyers in the harbor, parked there since the first takeover.
It was by their song and talk we knew when to rise
when to look out the window
to the commotion going on—
the magnetic field thrown off by grief.

We heard it.
The racket in every corner of the world. As
the hunger for war rose up in those who would steal to be president
to be king or emperor, to own the trees, stones, and everything
else that moved about the earth, inside the earth
and above it.

We knew it was coming, tasted the winds who gathered intelligence
from each leaf and flower, from every mountain, sea
and desert, from every prayer and song all over this tiny universe
floating in the skies of infinite
being.

And then it was over, this world we had grown to love
for its sweet grasses, for the many-colored horses
and fishes, for the shimmering possibilities
while dreaming.

But then there were the seeds to plant and the babies
who needed milk and comforting, and someone
picked up a guitar or ukulele from the rubble
and began to sing about the light flutter
the kick beneath the skin of the earth
we felt there, beneath us

a warm animal
a song being born between the legs of her;
a poem.

We're looking forward to seeing folks for Cross Pollination Coffee Hour coming up THIS Saturday May 17 from 10am-12pm

We're gathering at the Bellevue Apartments Common Space which can be a little tricky to find so here are some directions and a map!

Bellevue Apartments 206 S Nash St

There are a few parking options in this area, but the most direct one is marked on the map below.

Drive through the Redeye entrance off of Eno St and keep going until you see the apartments and a larger parking lot. You should see a courtyard and head through it until you see us! We'll be gathering inside and outside of the community center!
