Summary

When restaurants and cafes in Portland and elsewhere link into networks of food pantries and soup kitchens, will mutual aid feel real in the US? When regular folks come out of their houses to shame and chase ICE thugs out of the neighborhood, will that feeling of power from below catch on? Will it create some craving for a different way of doing things and understanding authority and order? Derek looks at Portland, Julian looks at street resistance, and Matthew unpacks the old anarchist idea of mutual aid, and whether and how it intersects with our time and what’s left of our institutions. Show Notes Here are 18 Portland-area coffee shops and restaurants that have pledged to feed people who lose SNAP benefits Angie Vargas, ICE Chaser LAHoodLove on Instagram BraveNewFilms on Instagram Kat Abughazaleh in Mother Jones Learn more about your ad choices.
