Mutual Aid in the Climate Crisis

People are always helping one another cope with troubles and shortages and disasters. When that assistance is organized as a collaborative exchange of help, it's sometimes called a "mutual aid society." As we increasingly get walloped by the climate crisis, we're going to need mutual aid societies more than ever before. For this episode, Jack Baldwin looks at one mutual aid society in Austin, Texas that tries to aid vulnerable local folks cope with extreme heat and extreme weather. You're going to hear from Sasha Rose and Fran Tay-too of the group Austin Mutual Aid.
