Autonomous resourcing: the engine room of feminist work amid a global pandemic

Feminists have mobilized on a massive scale to generate our own autonomous resources for daily acts of solidarity and survival and to respond politically, collectively, and powerfully to this moment.

Some of the responses are localised, while others are global.
