One Million Experiments Part 1: The Hypothesis with Mariame Kaba

Welcome to One Million Experiments, a brand new podcast exploring how we define and create safety, wellness, and protection in a world without police and prisons. Through longform interviews with movement workers across the world who have created community-based safety projects, 1ME expands our ideas about what keeps us safe, and celebrates the work already happening to build solutions that are grounded in transformation instead of punishment.

On this first episode, hosts Dame and Kiss introduce the project alongside Interrupting Criminalization's Eva Nagao. Then the guys take a deep dive into the project with 1ME co-creator Mariame Kaba, who talks about the project's evolution, the limits of framing the projects as "alternatives" to police and prisons, and how she hopes the project moves people into movement and action.
