This is what mutual aid looks like—not a hashtag, not a buzzword, but real people choosing to care for one another when the system refuses to. This kind of care is not new. It’s how we’ve always survived. Before there were social programs, there were aunties and neighbors, church ladies and cousins, doulas and friends. Because in this country, only 27 percent of workers have access to paid family leave, and one in four mothers returns to work within just two weeks of giving birth. Because bed rest isn’t covered. Because healing isn’t honored, and rest isn’t protected.
