Here are further resources that support my learning and practice as an anthropologist and human. Many of these groups and resources have demonstrated to me the necessity of community, in terms of fostering accountability and capacity for new ways of thinking and being. If you are interested in a particular topic or are seeking additional resources, please follow up and I’d be happy to send further information.
- Mutual aid , antiracist practice, & climate change action
- A Visual History of Mutual Aid article by Ariel Aberg-Riger
- Ward 4 Mutual Aid – part of DC/DMV network of many mutual aid groups and groups aiming to practice mutual aid – W4MA mainly supports food access, resource distribution and direct aid (cash assistance), and unhoused neighbor support. It is my main organizing home.
