Building Parallel Systems
A field guide to building the care systems our communities actually need.
Drawn from years of essays and organizing, Building Parallel Systems lays out the Community Welfare System: how to build structures of care alongside the ones failing us. Rooted in Fannie Lou Hamer's Freedom Farm Cooperative, the Black Panther Party's survival programs, Ella Baker, Mariame Kaba and Ruth Wilson Gilmore. Zedé writes for 4,300+ readers on Substack and a community of 43,000 on Instagram, and the Community Welfare System worksheets have been downloaded more than 1,000 times.
