Family What do we do when the state has abandoned us? From failing health systems to housing
crises to cascading ecological collapse it's increasingly evident that state-centered politics
do not protect us from the violence of colonialism and capitalism fascism and patriarchy. In
fact they actively work to harm us. Anarchist feminism-or anarcha-feminism-shows us that
the ways we tend to our social relations can build a new world inside the old one. We can take
care of each other when nothing else will supplying communal well-being and liberatory
horizons. From communitarian kitchens to medic collectives squatted social centers to queer
theater troupes Ljubljana to Mexico City Constellations of Care powerfully underscores that
we already have everything we need and desire in one another to carve out lives worth living.
