After a statement about the war in Palestine, we're in conversation with Stephanie Rearick, a founder, and Director of the Madison Mutual Aid Network Cooperative and Humans United in Mutual Aid Networks, or HUMANS for short, which is a new type of networked cooperative 'creating means for everyone to discover and succeed in work they want to do, with the support of their community'.

Stephanie talks about how mutual aid has changed since the pandemic began, how to create networks of Care that can actually support members of our communities long term, the new tech stack that they're creating to support mutual aid work to scale, and what it means to live a POSHtarity Lifestyle.
