How can we build communities in support of mutual aid networks that begin to model the better societies we all deserve to live in? This workshop is a crash-course info dump in community organizing for supporting marginalized communities without the help of corporations or institutions.
Across mutual aid economies, humans work cooperatively to meet the needs of everyone in their social group. It's different from charity and centers the solidarity of resource sharing among a diverse group of people that share similar needs.
Rather than a top-down, one-way flow system of resource distribution, which is typically how charitable or large institutional operations function, mutual aid networks build sustained decentralized networks of sharing between neighbors that center the accessibility of needed human resources like food & tools that become scarce in "trickle down" hypercapitalistic societies.
This workshop is meant to inspire anyone who works in technology and yearns to leverage their skill sets or resources into meaningful socio-political action that directly affects community members who need creative problem solvers the most.

We can replace the operating system of an Android phone when we have the necessary hardware drivers. Using NixOS as the operating system allows us to reliably recompile most of the modern software that we rely on for the mobile operating system to get the benefits of using real applications instead of just the limited capabilities of mobile apps. For example, programs like databases, webservices, CAD, compilers, image processing can run natively on the phone when you get rid of the Android ...
