Over 3,000 people participated in the sessions from which this new #MutualAid toolkit was created. An incredible number of participants chipped in to fund its creation. Much gratitude & appreciation for participants & Shareable staff for making this happen.
We’ve officially launched our Mutual Aid toolkit! We broke down the recordings from our Mutual Aid 101 learning series into clips with summaries, key takeaways, & resources. It is to build sustainable and robust mutual aid groups in your community. 🔗 https://t.co/iyPDV65veu

I highly recommend reading this and following Daniel. His analysis is spot on, well supported & common sense (which is uncommon today).
Political reform isn’t enough. Eastern Bloc dissidents knew that. They built independent civic life first—then change followed. What lessons can we learn today? https://t.co/wuZV4k3WS9

Highly recommended #longread by @ntnsndr on how to scale mutualist economies in the US: https://t.co/bJ7KxLIwo7 My big picture take on the #economy is that we must democratize it to protect our #democracy. We can design our economy to hold us together, united in diversity.

Growing US corporate economic control has impeded people’s capacity to self-organize. The time to rebuild community-scale economic institutions is now.

We need #CalAccount now for fee-free banking in California. When people can avoid bank fees and interest charges, more money stays in the pockets of working families, helping cover essential needs like food and rent.

The US could use more of this ambitious populists economic thinking right now, but I don't see it. Does anyone know of something similar being planned today?
