In this segment of my interview with author, journalist, and political researcher Shane Burley, we discuss rent strikes and expanding the role of mutual aid in the time of COVID-19. Millions of workers in the United States are now without jobs as a result of widespread economic disruption and lack of a comprehensive government aid.
As Shane describes in his recent article published at Waging Nonviolence: “In almost every city around the United States mutual aid networks have started to form — ranging from projects for resource distribution to simple options like fundraising, compiling lists of resources and contacts, and creating “chat threads” so that people in the same area can stay in contact with one another. The speed with which these groups have arrived, and the depth of care that many of them offer, have started to show what options communities have when the large institutions around them fail, or are unwilling to deal with the disaster.” (https://bit.ly/3a5GN89)
