What do we do when the state has abandoned us? From failing health systems to housing crises to cascading ecological collapse, it's increasingly evident that state-centered politics do not protect us from the violence of colonialism and capitalism, fascism, and patriarchy. In fact, they actively work to harm us.

Anarchist feminism—or anarcha-feminism—shows us how we tend to our social relations can build a new world inside the old one. We can care for each other when nothing else will, supplying communal well-being and liberatory horizons.

From communitarian kitchens to medic collectives, squatted social centers to queer theater troupes, Ljubljana to Mexico City, Constellations of Care powerfully underscores that we already have everything we need and desire in one another to carve out lives worth living.

The world we dream of is already here
'Cindy Barukh Milstein's anthology is care and mutual learning in action. The stories gathered here embrace complexity and challenge, but also hope for new ways forward. This work is nothing less than a transformation.'
Kes Otter Lieffe, author of theMarginstrilogy

'Constellations of Carebrings together all kinds of veterans of liberatory experiments in comradeship and kin-making, providing valuable insight into obstacles and defeats as well as tales of abundant love saplings, spores, and cuttings for everyone to propagate and grow.'
Sophie Lewis, author ofAbolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation'Milstein has beautifully woven together an anthology that helps orient us toward care and co-making worlds that shine bright. Constellation's powerful, vulnerable contributions are like embers, lighting up pathways to keep us rooted in life while centering resistance and love.'
