  • Episode 7 - Chicago Abortion Fund with Alicia Hurtado
    On this episode, the 1ME squad talks with Alicia Hurtado of the Chicago Abortion Fund, a movement stalwart that has been funding and supporting abortion access in Illinois and beyond for over 30 years. Alicia breaks down the relationship between abortions and criminalization, the steps we can all take right now to make abortion access possible in our communities, and the ways in which fighting the stigmatization of this necessary health care procedure can impact how we understand care as a whole.

  • Episode 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.

  • Episode 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.

  • Episode 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.

The duo talks about how the experiment has been transformative for all, the steep learning curve that the two of them had as the fridge got up and running, and how the act of experimentation taught them to act boldly and without permission.
