"Too many of us struggle to support our families and immediate care networks as it is. However, the only way we will survive the coming years of advancing authoritarianism, climate collapse and increasing precarity is by actively investing in networks that are much wider than our households.
Start getting to know your neighbors. Get involved in local groups organizing for change. Deepen your commitment to caring for people in your community the way you care for your family."

"Black families have long relied on extended kin networks beyond just the nuclear family formed in marriage. Elders, cousins, church members and chosen family have raised generations of children together—absent father or not. However, today’s rhetoric suggests that if a Black mother is doing it alone or needs someone other than the other biological parent, she’s failed."
"Disasters like Harvey became glimpses of an alternate reality, one where we acted like we knew how much we needed each other. It was powerful to see people come together in those moments, and it broke my heart when everything was cleaned up and we went back to our insular units, to living in parallel."

"[A]s soon-to-be parents, we don’t usually add “find community” to the top of our to-do lists. Often it’s only after we become parents that we realize our communities are not as strong as we need them to be. Because we live in a society that teaches us not to burden others, many of us struggle with asking for help when we need it. This is doubly true for LGBTQ+ folks on the path to parenthood."
"Black folx are dying because of capitalism... This is an even more common sentiment with the advent of the gig economy. Are we discussing how side hustle culture is advocating for our continued burnout, exhaustion, and poor health?"
