Follow ARTISTS' MUTUAL AID UK! Such a good idea. 🖌️💚👏

Artists' Mutual Aid is an idea & a call to action. Imagine if we could develop a network of self-organised local, regional & national mutual aid groups across the UK? We are stronger together! We have a platform BUT... It's up to you what happens next: actionnetwork.org/groups/artists…

This short film by Dean Spade & Ciro Carillo is a great intro to mutual aid! "When the shit is totally f**ked, what can we do?" It's time for artists & arts workers to start caring for each other: to organise & change the way we work & live together! youtu.be/yX6nfEH0-bw

Anyone interested in a Citizens' Assembly for Culture? David Jubb & I are calling for one! The time is now for openness & a radical overhaul of arts & culture.

So far 60 people from across England have added their names to the callout for a Citizens' Assembly for Culture. Please sign up and share with anyone else you think might be interested in democratically discussing & deciding how arts & culture is funded. x.com/davidjubb/stat…
