A New Conversation With Dean Spade, Author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)

Dean is a longtime organizer, writer, and movement strategist whose work has shaped how so many of us think about mutual aid, queer and trans liberation, abolition, and collective care. In this episode, he talks about the original 2020 Mutual Aid book, which quickly spread internationally with translations in seven languages, why he felt it was important to release a new updated edition, and what mutual aid means in this moment of crisis, burnout, and repression.

We get into the ways mutual aid can get flattened into harmless volunteerism, what it takes to keep groups sustainable, how to think about scale without relying on the state, and why solidarity matters even more when the system is failing people on purpose.

And we’re especially delighted to share that Dean’s Mutual Aid will be our first Mutual Aid Book Club selection.

Stay tuned — this one is going to be good.

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.
