Mutual aid, resistance, collective care as survival, or imagining what a world built around care (not capital) could look like. But we are really keen to here what care means to you. We welcome prose: essays, memoir, fiction. Raw, tender, political, personal, experimental — all tones are welcome.

Navigating care systems as a working-class, elderly, migrant or person living with a disability, experiences of healthcare (or lack of), bureaucracy, burnout, and the state’s idea of “support”, caring for loved ones, community and care...

You might want to contribute; Stories of care work: professional, informal, domestic — paid or unpaid,
experiences of parenthood or guardianship, growing up in a household shaped by care responsibilities or neglect...

Lumpen 15 Editorial | Editorial - Organise Magazine The first time I had lived experience of how deep class division in the UK runs was shortly after my arrival, when a much younger version of myself began my first romantic relationship on these isles....

Really happy to share the Editorial from Lumpen 15 by @classworkproject.bsky.social's @zosiabrom.bsky.social.
