Excited to share a few resources I have come across lately that have given me inspiration about mutual aid. First, this episode of The Dig in which Naomi Klein and Mercedes Martínez talk about the current conditions in Puerto Rico under US colonialism, PROMESA, and recovery from Hurricane Maria. I especially loved their observations about how when the corporate and fossil fuel centered food and energy systems failed, what still worked and works is locally controlled, cooperative approaches to basic needs. Also, check out this very useful article about how left organizations are mobilizing mutual aid in the wake of Hurricane Michael and other disasters. And finally, this gorgeous poster made by Roger Peet for Justseeds really says it all.
