Pirate Care - Valeria Graziano - Bog

In many places worldwide, the freedom to care for one another is under attack by the powerful, and acts of solidarity are being made illegal. In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of social welfare programs, the criminalization of migration, and the right-wing clampdown on bodily autonomy, radical networks of care are fighting back. From volunteer rescue boats in the Mediterranean to underground labs for preparing gender-affirming hormones, from the sharing of copyrighted health knowledge to the provision of abortion and contraception, people are reclaiming the means to care for one another in defiance of a system that devalues and exploits the labor of care. Against atomized despair, Pirate Care shows that fighting back isn't only about legal and legislative changes and organizing, direct action, and disobedient care.
