Check out this recently translated article about the failures of government responses to COVID-19 in China, the reasons for those failures, and the responses coordinated by mutual aid groups. It raises very interesting questions about centralized responses to epidemics and other disasters.
Roberto Sirvent and I are publishing a series of interviews with mutual aid groups in Black Agenda Report. This series of interviews with mutual aid project initiators and participants explores how mutual aid projects work, why they are so essential to social movements, and how they confront obstacles. These interviews will be published over the course of 2020.
