Re-Centering Mental Health in Times of Collapse and Multiple Crises

This workshop invites us to explore mental health not as an isolated personal issue, but as something deeply shaped by collective trauma, systemic collapse, and the grief of living in a world marked by violence, genocide, and ecological destruction.

Skillshare – What else is true?

A method to regain perspective, when tied up in knots. E.g., when you’re lying awake at night, because you’re being hurt or deeply involved in some conflict situation and you keep fixating on it. The feelings of anger, shame, fear, guilt or whatever else keep us awake and make our mind wander in circles. 3 steps that can help, when our vision becomes very narrow.

#mutualaid #radicalCare

Hey ya all, does anyone have any good material about organizing #disabled #mutualaid groups?
I'm specifically interested in #chronicillness perspectives.
More general texts about mutual aid care and #RadicalCare would also be greatly appreciated!

I'm thinking lately a lot about those topics but not a lot of texts I found so far go into the nitty gritty of how to organize a group you can rely on.

#anarchism

"To me, creating a different kind of world is one where everyone’s care needs are taken care of, where care is a system of collective support that is anti-capitalist, that is anti-racist, that is gender inclusive, that understands the different care needs that people have, and understanding the different capacities that people have to give care. I don’t believe care can be egalitarian. Care is never egalitarian. It is not about equality, but rather it is about giving what we can and about getting what you need. And so for me, a real caring society would be universal in that sense, but it would be one in which we’re all equally invested."

For our third zine we would like to critically examine some positive examples of community organizing that happened during the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic.

We would like to ask what went well, what could be improved, also how #CommunalCare and #MutualAid projects can scale and how we can turn them into a #PrefigurativePractice to help us get ready for any upcoming crisis and/or pandemic.

If this interests you, please join us to work on this zine.

If you know of interesting projects to examine, please let us know.

#SafeSpace #RadicalCare #AntiAbleism #Anarchism #CovidIsNotOver #Intersectionality

We are Mitosis, a newly formed intersectional anarchist radical communal care collective.

We are members who split from our original "Radical Communal Care" group. 
Our priority is caring for each other, for the planet, for other beings. This care is both our goal and a means to an end to create a more just world, that is safe for everyone.
In a world with violent capitalist politics, war, an ongoing pandemic and on the brink of a climate catastrophe, caring for one another is a radical act. It is both the smallest and the biggest thing that we can do right now, every day.
We recognize how the violent hierarchical systems we were raised in can impact our actions, and want to learn and unlearn together. We strive to create an environment in which we can feel safe to do so.
We extend empathy to others and to ourselves, try our best to understand each other and celebrate our differences.

Our intersectional values lead us to oppose all forms of oppression and injustice, including but not limited to ableism, speciesism, racism, queerphobia.

We advocate for wearing masks, cleaning the air, accessibility, inclusion.

Please follow us to keep up-to-date with our development and ways to get involved as we grow as a collective.
