One Million Experiments Part 6: Detroit Safety Team with Curtis Renee and John Sloan III

The squad heads to our movement sister city for this episode of One Million Experiments with the Detroit Safety Team, led by Curtis Renee and John Sloan III. The organization, which was birthed out of creating anticarceral safety processes for the Detroit-based Allied Media Conference, builds a network of community-trained safety practitioners across the city, providing a pathway toward communities that are self reliant—where it is understood that we have the capacity to rely on ourselves and our community to stay safe and handle harm productively. We talk about the evolving definition of safety, learning from communal evaluation, how the pandemic disrupted movement work, and much more.

Ep 297 - One Million Experiments Part 5: REP with Signe Victoria Harriday

One Million Experiments turns to the Twin Cities to connect with Signe Harriday of Relationships Evolving Possibilies, or REP. REP is a network of dedicated abolitionists showing up to support others in moments of crisis or urgency, with care and respect for the full dignity and autonomy of the people in crisis. They help community build pods of communal reliance, and facilitate a hotline to address the needs of community members in times of crisis. We talk with Signe about how relationships are the building blocks of liberation work, how having a different number to call shifts individual and communal consciousness, and how Black liberation and indigenous sovereignty are at the center of the multi-century struggle of which we are all a part.

Ep 295 - One Million Experiments Part 4: MASK with Tamar Manasseh

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 Episode 4, the guys have the honor and privilege to talk with Tamar Manasseh. Tamar is the founder of MASK (Mothers and Men Against Senseless Killings), an experiment that began in 2015 as a way to put eyes on the streets, interrupt violence and crime, and teach children to grow up as friends rather than enemies. From her lawn chair at 75th and Stewart in Chicago, Tamar and her village have transformed the responses to violence and harm in their neighborhood, generated educational and communal programs toward liberation, and illuminated a path forward that renders punishment obsolete. She talks about how the work has evolved, the role of news media in perpetuating state violence, how her positionality as a Jew and a rabbi has molded her vantage point, and much more.

Ep 294 - Lisa Beasley

On this episode, the guys are joined by the hilarious Lisa Beasley. Lisa is a comedian, producer, spacemaker, and artist who has, most recently, blown up for her acerbic and spot-on impressions of our infamous mayor Lori Lightfoot. Lisa breaks down how she has grown as a creator, the heartbreaking origins of her fantastic Lori impression, and the ways in which this pointed political satire is a salve for both her and the Chicago movement community as a whole.

AirGo x Sawyer Seminar Present Radical Care, Real Alternatives Episode 5 - How Finance Colonizes Urban Futures

AirGo is partnering with UIC's Social Justice Initiative to present The Sawyer Seminar, a series of conversations hosted by UIC scholars entitled Radical Care, Real Alternatives. This episode, hosted by UIC professors Rachel Weber and Philip Ashton, explores how the public goods and services on which we rely have been commodified, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder. From the Chicago Skyway to the Green Line subway to the parking spots across the city, the municipal government has auctioned off the public infrastructure in an attempt to plug short-term budget holes, with often disastrous consequences. Dive deep into the weeds and emerge with a new lens to challenge the privatization of our lived environment in Chicago and beyond.
