    Bonus! with Collective Justice

    Bonus! with Collective Justice

    The crew snuck back into the lab for this bonus episode of One Million Experiments! Dame and Kiss talk with Martina and Matt from Collective Justice, a Seattle-based restorative justice organization brought together by a diverse group of survivors and imprisoned community members in Washington State. Between their work with survivors of violence and survivors within the "belly of the beast" of jails and prisons, Collective Justice shows the revolutionary possibilities of connecting the different dots on the spectrum of harm and violence.

    Episode 20 - The Conclusion with Mariame Kaba

    Episode 20 - The Conclusion with Mariame Kaba

    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!

    Ep 18 - Palestine Heirloom Seed Library with Vivien Sansour

    Ep 18 - Palestine Heirloom Seed Library with Vivien Sansour

    The 1ME squad has the honor of talking with Vivien Sansour, the founder of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library (PHSL), which seeks to preserve and promote heritage and threatened seed varieties, traditional Palestinian farming practices, and the cultural stories and identities associated with them. Recorded five weeks into the 2023 flashpoint of genocidal violence enacted upon Gazans and Palestinians across Israel/Palestine, Vivien reflects on how she is surviving from across the ocean, how she loves seeds more than ever before, and what is at stake for all of us in this test of our humanity.
