DESCRIPTION:\nEmail strike.debt.bay.area@gmail.com a few days beforehand for the online 
 invite.\n\nFor our October 26th meeting we will be reading "Mutual Aid" by 
 Dean Spade. (Amazon, free PDF)\nMutual aid is the radical act of caring 
 for each other while working to change the world.\n \nAround the globe, 
 people are faced with a spiralling succession of crises, from the Covid-19 
 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the 
 ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, racist policing, brutal immigration 
 enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As 
 governments fail to respond to—or actively engineer—each crisis, 
 ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and 
 support the vulnerable.\n \nSurvival work, when done alongside social 
 movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid.\nThis 
 book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and 
 how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how 
 mutual aid is a crucial part of powerful movements for social justice, and 
 offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, how to 
 foster a collective decision-making process, how to prevent and address 
 conflict, and how to deal with burnout.  \n \nWriting for those new to 
 activism as well as those who have been in social movements for a long 
 time, Dean Spade draws on years of organizing to offer a radical vision of 
 community mobilization, social transformation, compassionate activism, and 
 solidarity.\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this non-technical book group
