This week's guest, Rabbi Brant Rosen, is the founding rabbi of Tzedek Chicago, a "Jewish congregation based on core values of justice, equity and solidarity." In the almost-decade of the reconstructionist congregation's existence, Tzedek has worked to build a Judaism beyond nationalism that centers solidarity, nonviolence, and spiritual freedom. Brant is also co-founder of Jewish Voice for Peace's Rabbinical Council, and a long-time spiritual and political leader in the struggle against the structural violence made possible by flattening Jewish life in service of white supremacy at home and in Israel/Palestine. He talks about his path to his politic, the heartbreak and resolve he's held since October, and the vision of Judaism that guides Tzedek forward.

We're fangirling pretty damn hard over here because we have the one and only Prentis Hemphill on this week's episode! Prentis is a therapist, somatics teacher and facilitator, political organizer, writer and the founder of The Embodiment Institute who has been a centering and leading voice in the work to create new pathways to healing conflict and harm. Their work is to disrupt the complacency and comfort of mainstream healing and therapeutic models and infuse what we know of justice, repair, and accountability into our deepest work of transformation. So, you know, kinda the type of thing we stay talking about on AirGo! They talk about the language we've gained around collective healing, the challenges it contains, the rituals we've lost and must reclaim, and so much more.

AirGo's so excited to be back in full effect and regular flow of conversations reshaping culture for the more liberatory and creative! With the Chicago municipal election coming up on 3/19 (early voting is open now!), we're starting off with a call to Bring Chicago Home, a referendum aiming to restructure the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT), a one-time tax on properties when they are sold to create a substantial and legally dedicated revenue stream to provide permanent affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness. Campaign organizers Brian Rodgers and Tynetta Hill-Muhammad break down how their personal experiences brought them to the campaign, how housing justice is at the nexus of all issues, and how to combat the misinformation around BCH created by the real estate lobby.

This is it! We've reached the end of Season 2, and the last episode of 1ME (for now). And who better to close us out than our OG partner in decriminalization and 1ME creator Mariame Kaba. Mariame returns to the show to discuss what she's learned across twenty episodes of the show, the importance of movement-led archival work, how she understands the shifts in our political landscape since 2020, and the importance of the choir. Let's go out in style! SHOW NOTES Book a screening of the 1ME film! Hit us up at [email protected]. Peep 1ME - http://millionexperiments.com
