with Stephen Piccarella

Americans pay on average twice as much for healthcare as peer countries with 41% of us in medical debt. In a system that commodifies healthcare along with every other aspect of our survival, this crisis is not just lingering — it’s worsening.

Why are we being charged exorbitant prices so many of us cannot afford for something we need to survive, who sets those prices, and how have people in the past used their collective inability to pay as an asset against high prices for basic necessities?

On October 30 at 8pm ET/5pm PT we’ll be holding the first of three sessions on autoreduction or the tactic of collectively setting prices as a means of fighting back against a hostile capitalist system. Join us and Stephen Piccarella to talk about autoreduction — from the autonomia movement of 1970s Italy to Debt Collective today — and our fight to win reparative public goods.
