*"We live in a world where captains get arrested for saving people’s lives
on the sea; where a person downloading scientific articles faces 35 years
in jail; where people risk charges for bringing contraceptives to those who
otherwise couldn’t get them. Folks are getting in trouble for giving food
to the poor, medicine to the sick, water to the thirsty, shelter to the
homeless. And yet our heroines care and disobey. They are pirates."*

Pirate Care is a research process - primarily based in the transnational
European space - that maps the increasingly present forms of activism at
the intersection of “care” and “piracy”, which in new and interesting ways
are trying to intervene in one of the most important challenges of our
time, that is, the ‘crisis of care’ in all its multiple and interconnected
dimensions.

These practices are experimenting with self-organisation, alternative
approaches to social reproduction and the commoning of tools, technologies
and knowledges. Often they act disobediently in expressed non-compliance
with laws, regulations and executive orders that ciriminalise the duty of
care by imposing exclusions along the lines of class, gender, race or
territory. They are not shying risk of persecution in providing
unconditional solidarity to those who are the most exploited, discriminated
against and condemned to the status of disposable populations.

The Pirate Care Syllabus we present here for the first time is a tool for
supporting and activating collective processes of learning from these
practices. We encourage everyone to freely use this syllabus to learn and
organise processes of learning and to freely adapt, rewrite and expand it
to reflect their own experience and serve their own pedagogies.
