How do we care for each other, our comrades and communities, and build resistance under extreme conditions of state violence, organized abandonment, imperialism, and fascism? Dean Spade, author of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the Next)” and “Love in a F*cked Up World” will facilitate an interactive workshop on mutual aid, cultures of resistance, and what it takes for us to show up for each other.
Dean Spade is based in Seattle and has been working to build queer and trans liberation based in racial and economic justice and against pink-washing for the past two decades. Dean’s work on mutual aid describes how mutual aid has been a part of all social movements, and offers concrete tools such as group decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to care for one another.
