We often talk about the various ways in which the state, nonprofits, and service providers coopt abolitionist demands for "care" to justify their own repressive and reformist agendas. But even within leftist spaces, we think about care work in terms of survival, not in terms of ensuring that marginalized communities can actually thrive. So there is a need for greater clarity and specificity even in our own organizing communities around care work: what kind of care are we talking about and to what ends? Imprisoned abolitionist, Stevie Wilson and Dr. Joy James discuss what care is, how we avoid performing a version of care that is based on exploitation or infantilization, and how we can ensure care work is instead rooted in a revolutionary praxis of solidarity.Support 9971's Work Behind the Walls: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-99...9971 engages imprisoned people through study and discussion.

Join Dorothy Roberts, Harsha Walia, Kim Wilson, and Maya Schenwar for a virtual book launch and conversation on caregiving, abolition, and hope amid chaos!As we await a second Trump presidency, it's easy to feel frozen -- as if any action we take can't possibly be enough, and may be futile.

In this heavy time, it's important to recognize the centrality of care to movement work.

Join Rae Garringer and special guests Neema Avashia, Kijana West, and David Rodriguez for a virtual launch and celebration of Country Queers: A Love Letter.Part photo book, part memoir, part oral history project, this volume paints a vivid portrait of queer and trans experiences in rural areas and small towns across the US.After years as a DIY, minimally funded, community-based oral history project, the work now takes a new form in Country Queers: A Love Letter—a book of full-color photos and interviews with rural folks from Mississippi to New Mexico and beyond, with Garringer’s account as traveler and interviewer woven through the pages. In these intimate conversations, we see how queerness—shaped, as all things are, by race, class, gender, and more—moves in rural and small-town spaces, spotlighting how country queers make sense of their lives through reflections on land, home, community, and belonging. While media-driven myths suggest that big cities are the only places queer folks can find love and community, Country Queers resists that trope by centering rural queer and trans stories of the joys, challenges, monotony, and nuances of their lives, in their own words.***Please note: This discussion was recorded on October 8, 2024.***Speakers:Neema Avashia is a West Virginian-born Indian American who writes about her identity, culture, and politics.
