S6E20: Mutual Aid and Healthcare
Listen now
Description
In organization theory, mutual aid involves communities engaging in voluntary and reciprocal exchange of resources and services for mutual benefit. Mutual aid extends beyond charity or advocacy work—it embodies genuine solidarity.

In S6E20, Margaux, Hạ, and Leen discuss the history and modern context of mutual aid and how it fills the gaps in our current healthcare system.
