It's not a question of what if, but of capacity. Formal institutions are systematically failing their missionhttps://twitter.com/benborges_/status/636289787083816960 …
To be scalable, direct aid networks must be efficient at attracting key competences & load-bearing (ie. protecting core people from burnout)
Conversely, the aid system squanders too many resources on admin overhead to match effectiveness of direct aid networks. Evident in Lesvos
If groups of people save lives, feed/clothe thousands, improve their conditions, the aid system is obliged to explain why it failed to do so
In plainspeak: strutting out T-shirts for photo opps while your org fails to materially address a crisis (whereas people don't) is noticed
The most effective activists I met in Lesvos are unselfconscious, at least use their image sparingly, focusing on effectiveness. Unlike orgs
If the org success yardstick hinging on brand awareness worked, we'd see better conditions for refugees where logos fly. This isn't the case
Again, in plainspeak: a group of people dug drainage at Moria. A group of people cleaned the toilets in Kara Tepe that day orgs took selfies
@asteris What if the rising #mutualAid networks of today are our future institutions?
