## Resource

Pirate Care is a term used to describe creative, public acts that challenge the "organized abandonment" of people in need. In the tradition of civil disobedience, pirate care activists intervene to show compassion and social solidarity for ordinary people. Pirate Care also highlights how the state, markets, or patriarchal families have politicized particular types of care by declaring them unpatriotic, a threat to business revenues, or unacceptably kind to people of the "wrong" citizenship, race, or gender identity. In their new book, 'Pirate Care: Acts Against the Criminalization of Solidarity' (Pluto Press), activists Valeria Graziano (Italy; England) and Tomislav Medak (Croatia) explain the varieties and logics of pirate care. (The book's third coauthor is Marcell Mars (Croatia; England)). For more on the commons, go to www.Bollier.org.
