As promised, my friends, I'm back! This is Mama Bear Frey--coming at you "not exactly" live from the Queer Cave. I'm so excited for this week's topic, especially given our friends in Texas could use Mutual Aid and general support more than ever. With that, let's learn more about mutual aid.

We'll first chat about the emergent themes of care. Where did care likely emerge from? What is the promiscuity of care? We will cover three fundamentals of mutual consent, then, the three key elements of mutual aid. We describe how mutual aid is participatory in nature and requires collective action tactics. These ground-up tactics are the foundation of our consulting firm, Heliotactics LLC. Finally, we will talk about the difference between mutual aid and help, and how we can learn from communities at the margins to better form resilient teams for our future.
