Mutual Aid HEAT is an upcoming week-long event, practicing mutual aid in stressful situations. This kind of event is collapse activism – the new frontier of leftwing politics. Why? Because collapse changes politics and activism, and we must do what we can for each other and to resist the rise of the right.
“We are planning an event for those who take the threat of collapse and authoritarianism as seriously as we do; who know that we must prepare now—not just in a few years—for climate disasters, authoritarian takeovers, systemic breakdowns, and reduced state support; and who know that preparing for a future marked by increasing disasters means investing time and resources in those preparations now.”
“However, solidarity-based structures don’t just mean looking out for one another—that is, building mutual aid groups. They also mean driving political activism, challenging existing structures of power and domination, and organizing. Queer people, people with immigrant backgrounds, and many others are particularly at risk of being actively attacked or neglected by others. We make this interplay tangible and teachable so that we can remain capable of acting in solidarity and as activists in the long term.”
