To Accompany is Political

'To Accompany is Political: A Transfeminist Essay on Homelessness', written by Florencia Montes Paez of No Tan Distintes [Not So Different], is a call for us to reflect on our own and our organisations’ actions in front of inequity, transforming ourselves in the process – to accompany, as a political act. Appearing for the first time in English, this edition brings a definitive work from the Spanish-speaking world to new lands and readers.

‘To Accompany is Political’ recounts the journey of No Tan Distintes [Not So Different, NTD], a social, political and transfeminist organisation in Buenos Aires, Argentina, working with women and queer people who are or have been homeless. Following this journey leaves us with the importance of accompaniment as a political act; creating emotional bonds – committing yourself to one another as compañeres, with implications not just for social organisations working on homelessness, but for the public sector, universities, charities, community spaces and our personal daily practice.
