HOW CAN WE TAKE THE MEANS OF CARE BACK INTO OUR HANDS?
We are a cooperative species. To survive and thrive we build systems of care. But the 2020 pandemic has shown us that capitalism's systems of care are in profound crisis, and poor, working and racialized people pay the price.
As Corporations and governments weaponize care to sell products and save capitalism, it's more important than ever that we reclaim our powers of mutual aid and solidarity.
How can we take the means of care back into our hands?
