Q&A: How co-living can help with the resistance?

We asked people how they think co-living communities can help with the resistance movement. Here's what they said.

Current Housemates:

Emerson: We are stronger together because while we can't learn everything we need to survive and provide care to one another, someone else in the group likely has those skills. We can give each other moral support, build one another up when we're tired of the fight. We can prep together. We offer a safe space for people to be themselves which allows them to face their life outside the house with greater strength and confidence. 

Emily: Learning to depend on each other, to co-habitat, to take care of each other is the only way to survive an uncaring capitalist world. Relying on and caring about each other and cohabiting all disrupt the nuclear family model which disrupts said capitalist world - the resistance is found through an earnest love of your fellow people.  

Olivia: Co-living with like-minded individuals really keep you safe from hate. As an activist seeing a loving community of people who watch each others' back we can produce change even if it's only in our community.
