153, We Are Family DC, a community response to overcome systemic injustices

In this interview community organizer Mark Andersen of We Are Family DC speaks about the ways that a frontline community support organization, focused on delivering food as part of frontline anti poverty work also has created a context of local solidarity between thousands of residents in downtown DC areas like Shaw. We Are Family DC emerged as a key frontline community solidarity space during peak movements of the pandemic. We Are Family DC is described this way: "Grounded in grassroots senior leadership, We Are Family mobilizes a committed corps of volunteers to reach out to isolated inner-city seniors with free services, advocacy, and companionship, building a network of caring eyes and ears that enables at-risk seniors to age in place. More than simply a social service provider, We Are Family is a bold experiment in building caring, just and inclusive community." Mark also helped to found the DC mutual aid and solidarity network Positive Force which I was happy to volunteer with during a food delivery shift during a stop in Washington during an anti-capitalist speaking tour aiming to mobilize support for the anti G8 protests in Canada in 2002.
