Hey everyone, Artie here.

And welcome to All Care for All People, a special limited series from Death Panel that we've been

quietly working on in the past few months.

Over the next few weeks, we're going to be presenting a series of interviews with people

engaged in mutual aid survival programs,

working across a variety of tactics, locations, and organizational structures, who are each stepping in in different ways to provide care where it is needed,

care where it is disallowed, where it is criminalized, and in the pockets of state abandonment on which our political

economy thrives and in conditions that have become only more dire under the thumb of a second

Trump administration.

A few things about this series.

First, this is an attempt to highlight the sheer proliferation of survival work and mutual aid

projects happening right now, a series in the form of more or less

oral histories intended to show not only just how much is happening, but how eminently possible

and necessary it is to start doing this work or something like it, wherever you are. But we also

want to be clear that these interviews offer only the smallest glimpse of political activity happening right now.

First, because we chose to focus on speaking with projects oriented around care work or health in a broad sense, like free clinics, harm reduction, street medics, and more.

And second, because we've also focused on projects that already have some form of public presence.

There's a lot of work happening out there that is happening very quietly by necessity,

where added attention to the work being done would be antithetical to the perpetuation of those projects.

That also extends to the subjects that we did interview.

You'll notice that we've taken a lighter touch to the editing on these recordings.
