Learning how to balance surviving the present with supporting resistance efforts while also participating in collective experiments in prefiguring better futures.

I post occasionally and intermittently boost, mostly to share and/or amplify resources

Recommending:
'On Activism, Friendships, and Fighting' by Benjamin H. Shepard

https://www.commonnotions.org/on-activism-friendship-and-fighting

By weaving together personal stories from movement organisers, this collection offers a thought-provoking exploration of how the concepts of friendships, affinity groups, and coalitions are used in the context of efforts to sustain activist movements

I am looking forward to reflecting on the various challenges and opportunities of navigating the inevitable conflicts that emerge as friendships emerge and change in the process of learning to both nourish our affinities and relate well across our differences

Also, these use of actual oral histories are an excellent complement to the oral history style account of potential futures in the book 'Everything for Everyone' I've been recommending

This survey offers an opportunity to both help researchers include a wider range of perspectives on collaborative approaches to housing in Australia, and a thought-provoking reflective exercise about the forms of collaborative housing you are (or want to be) involved in

Link to survey: https://swinuw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2mJNl6NuN1RCQqG

(The concept of collaborative housing ownership is used very broadly, so its possible to answer the questions even when thinking about housing stewardship.)

Currently reading 'Beautiful Solutions' and re-exploring the online 'toolkit for liberation' resources the folk at #BeautifulTrouble maintain.
The curation of examples in the book offers timely inspiration of how we can participate in local actions, such as housing collectives and worker cooperatives, in ways that contribute to broader efforts towards building an international #SolidarityEconomy

#SlowFactory has some excellent #resources and free #education courses on #ClimateJustice, #DisabilityJustice and many other interconnected #CollectiveLiberation practices.

Anyone know if they're posting on the fediverse (they have some great slide decks shared on commercial platforms that would be great to be able to amplify here)?

In the meantime, I recommend checking out the resources available via their website https://slowfactory.earth/
