Join MAWG’s new Poli-Ed subcommittee for a 5-week reading group on the modern bible of mutual aid organizing, Mutual Aid by Dean Spade.
Note: an e-book copy will be provided or you can purchase a paper copy from your bookseller of choice or directly from Verso Books!
It's a short book (~150 pages) so readings will be fairly quick, but we'll spend a lot of time discussing our own experiences as mutual aid organizers, the theory behind collective aid work, and our visions for an economy centered around solidarity and the potential that holds. We'll also collaborate to pull together a packet of resources that can be used by readers and groups that come after us: supplemental readings, videos, podcasts, worksheets, and more.

No membership is required to participate in this book club, but if you'd like to join DSA, we'd certainly love to have you with us, and if you'd like to join MAWG, please indicate it on the form when you register.
