Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tom Llewellyn on the Many, Innovative Spheres of Organized Sharing
Q: What do you think should be the ideal relationship between mutual aid networks and the state government?
There is a challenging balance, as mutual aid networks can sometimes be more effective than government responses, making it essential that we hold the state accountable while supporting community-led initiatives.
Tom Llewellyn on the Many, Innovative Spheres of Organized Sharing
Q: What could be done to make it easier to build those infrastructures?
We need to focus on prefigurative politics, building the necessary infrastructure for the future today.
Tom Llewellyn on the Many, Innovative Spheres of Organized Sharing
Q: How does Shareable situate itself in that realm?
We are not taking credit for existing work but instead lifting up practitioners and connecting communities with resources.
Tom Llewellyn on the Many, Innovative Spheres of Organized Sharing
Q: Tell me about your re-engagement with the grassroots from a progressive dimension.
It has been difficult, but we are looking at successful models and organizations to partner with in order to facilitate grassroots development.
David Bollier on His New, Updated Edition of 'Think Like a Commoner'
Q: What kinds of new types of infrastructures and institutions need to be created to help bridge this gap?
Bollier suggests creating legal infrastructures that underpin sharing practices, enabling community initiatives without waiting for federal aid, especially in light of climate change's challenges.
