On this show, cohosts Caridad and Becca discuss how mutual aid organizing should be part of the long term struggle in our attempts to transform the world so that all people have what they need to live healthy and happy lives. We interviewed Jax Padilla about mutual aid organizing in Western Mass and Janaki Natarajan, co-direct of Spark Teacher Education Institute.

Today we spend the hour with Vickie, the director of the Women's Freedom Center in Windham County and Donna, the legal advocate at the center. We talk about the impact of COVID-19 on those experiencing abuse in the homes. The WFC 24 hour hotline is 802-254-6954

Today we are talking about Mutual Aid in the Era of COVID 19 - How can we work towards solidarity not charity! We interviewed Story from Western Mass Community Mutual Aid network and Eva from Out in the Open, an organization based in Brattleboro working to connect rural LGBTQ people to build community, visibility, knowledge and power.

This will be part 1 of a series in which we will continue to add more as stories of mutual aid organizing emerge in this time of crisis.

In this show from 3/15/20, Henry and Amar dive into how capitalism is in crisis and how the coronavirus is exposing its systemic failures. We get into the contradiction between socialism for big business and individualism for the masses, the failure of the private health care system and the botched US response to the coronavirus, among other topics.
