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 engaging in mutual aid “calms your spirit, soothes you, as soon as you can start to feel less alone and less adrift.”
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
That thriving communities creates “lively humanhood”, beyond basic human livelihood
