Hey
Is it me or is capitalism going bigger this year? Between Black
Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday our obsession with
consumption is on full display.
In the midst of so much disfunction and destabilization, it feels
like systems of power are doubling down. So how do we show up in
the face of this onslaught given everything that is at stake in
our communities?
I've been working with this term "mutualing" to represent the
practice of actively engaging in relationships and culture of
mutuality. Mutuality understands that we interdependent with all
of life, that our liberation and wellbeing are bound. Dr King
famously said:
“All life is interrelated” and that all of humanity is “caught in
an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of
destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I
can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to
be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I
ought to be...This is the inter-related structure of reality.”
Of course, mutual aid and collective care is not new and has a
long history in Black liberation movement, disability justice,
survivor communities and more. (Here's a great explainer by Dean
Spade) ( [link removed] ).
How we meet this moment in order to protect each other and build
collective power is rooted in mutuality and collective care. And
it is the very medicine we need to push back on systems of
consumption and build circles of care. Here are some amazing
resources to get you started:

precision.
