Wed, 10/4/2017 - by Eleanor Goldfield

This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out! From the streets of D.C. to the front lines of disaster capitalism relief, we're sharing and highlighting the power and inspiration of people coming together, working together and getting it done.

The March for Black Women and the March for Racial Justice spread joy, power and fight through the streets of D.C. last weekend, and we'll give you a glimpse of the action. Next up, Bobby Rodrigo shows how we do better in the aftermath of disasters via mutual aid and community organized relief efforts.
