'there's some thinking and writings from the Black radical tradition about standing up infrastructure for your people. Mutual aid is also about that. It's about creating alternative systems. And especially when you talk about, if you bring up abolition, if you talk about, we should abolish the police, people are always like, well, what do you have instead? And so building alternative systems is really just, it's the answer to that'
