Bea and Artie speak with Dean Spade about his new book “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next),” dismantling the nonprofitization of political activity in the U.S., and the limits of fighting movement battles in the courts and on the field of law.

Dean Spade has been working to build queer and trans liberation based in racial and economic justice for the past two decades. He works as an Associate Professor at Seattle University School of Law.
