As governments fail to respond to--or actively engineer--each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support the vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurvival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid is a crucial part of powerful movements for social justice, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, how to foster a collective decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWriting for those new to activism as well as those who have been in social movements for a long time, Dean Spade draws on years of organizing to offer a radical vision of community mobilization, social transformation, compassionate activism, and solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Book proceeds","offer_id":44834277228567,"sku":"9781836742555","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Book + $10","offer_id":44834277261335,"sku":"9781836742556","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Book + $25","offer_id":44834277294103,"sku":"9781836742557","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Book + $50","offer_id":44834277326871,"sku":"9781836742558","price":66.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/Screenshot2026-03-25at4.11.15PM.png?v=1774480283","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/b4g-spade-dean-mutual-aid","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
