Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity in This Crisis (And the Next) by Dean Spade

informative reflective

3.75

This had a lot of great insight on organizing mutual aid. I wish I'd read this years ago when I started working with groups. There is a lot of great practical advice. I do think there were some things that I would have liked to see considered more (like more on disability accessibility, which should be central and I felt like there was more to be desired when talking about inter-group issues). I listened to this on audiobook, which was a bit dry but still very informative. I would definitely to look this over again in physical format to revisit some things. Overall, I think this is a great starting point for learning more about how to do mutual aid and issues to consider when organizing in general. 

Edit: the more I think about this, the more gaps I see in it... I definitely need to look back at some parts to get a really good grip on this. I think a 4 might be a bit strong but some of this did have very useful points, so it's definitely above a 3. I'll tentatively put this in the neighborhood of 3.5
