#76 Stephanie Rearick: Mutual Aid Networks for Thriving Communities
Episode description
Stephanie Rearick is the Founder and former Co-Director of the Dane County TimeBank (DCTB) – a 2800-member time exchange, and Creative Director of Mutual Aid Networks, a new type of networked cooperative. In addition to her work in timebanking and growing grassroots-up economic and community regeneration, Rearick is co-owner of Mother Fool’s Coffeehouse.
She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
- That “mutual aid networks are found throughout all living systems”
- That by contrast, our money system “widens the gap between the haves and have nots, and causes a competitive situation”
- That systems of mutual aid and care are the key safety nets in times of disaster
