"Since Donald Trump marched back into the White House in January 2025, his administration has waged an all-out war on disabled people. Trump has issued executive orders rolling back civil rights protections, slashed funding for vital services and support, and advocated for legislation that would ramp up institutionalization."

"Mutual aid and community care feel like the strategies we need to prepare and meet the ongoing struggle. The people who are going to be most harmed are queer and trans disabled folks, Black and Brown disabled folks, disabled migrants, and disabled undocumented folks. We need to understand the intersections of these systems and how they harm people, and we need to work across movements." ~ Dom Kelly
"Faced with this overwhelm, it is becoming more important than ever for individuals to organize in their communities, develop relationships with neighbors, and find ways to support one another. The struggle for disability justice intersects with the fights for racial and climate justice, safety for our immigrant neighbors & trans siblings, and a dignified life for all people. By organizing across movements, we can build the liberatory future we all deserve."

In theory i agree with this statement so much.
But how does one "organize in communities and develop relationships with neighbors" when one has lost all trust in neighbors and feels betrayed by all the activist communities from before the pandemic?
The only option i see is in online communal care groups and i so wish to find one again.
Is anyone interested in creating a committed radical communal care group with regular meetings for #COVIDcautious folks?
