What do you do when Hiba Bou Akar asks you to speak for fifteen minutes about the future of planning surrounded by all sorts of brilliance?

The first thing I thought about was the amazing work of community-led, community-based, community-engaged, and community-accountable organizations working to bring real (bodily, spiritual and material) resources to their communities.

Here’s the list I came up with to start + more amazing work others shared.
If you can, make a financial investment in their work, or groups doing similar work in your own community.

Butterfly: Asian and Migrant Sex Workers Support Network, Detention Watch, Encuentro, Freedom Inc, Maggie’s: Toronto Sex Worker Action Project, Morris Home (Philadelphia), O:se Kenhionhata:tie Land Back Camp (Kitchener, Ontario), Pueblo Action Alliance, Randolph street community garden (Champaign, Illinois), Vipassar, We The People of Detroit

The new issue of MONU features Marina Abramović on the cover,
and has a piece by me on time in the middle.
What’s not to enjoy?
