Existing care services are often geared towards the perceived needs of a 'majority society'. They are often difficult to access for marginalized and particularly vulnerable groups – either because of linguistic, physical, or other barriers, or because the services simply fail to address specific concerns. Queer, disabled, and racialized communities have long relied on self-organization out of necessity, often under precarious conditions. What pioneering services already exist that need to be expanded and secured for everyone? And what might a solidarity-based care and health policy look like that takes the diversity of support needs as its starting point and seeks common spaces for action within this diversity?
