Mutual Aid

As crises mount and multiply, governments fail to respond or exacerbate the problems. What are we to do? 

Mutual Aid is a radical handbook for anyone who grasps the severity of the global poly-crisis and wants a community-based means to fight back. Dean Spade — lawyer, academic, writer, and activist — highlights the bold and innovative ways ordinary people have developed to share resources and care for those in crisis. Mutual aid isn’t charity. It is a form of organizing integral to all influential and successful social movements. Spade offers practical tools and advice to help with the challenges of working in groups, forming a decision-making process, and preventing and addressing conflict.
