    Under the Arch | S5 Ep. 8: "Mike Brown Forever: Ferguson 10-Year Anniversary Special"

    St. Louis’s political landscape has transformed dramatically over the past decade. The city is home to a vibrant, radical organizing network that is hard to find anywhere else in the country. Jails have closed, reparations commissions have been established, and progressive leaders have been elected. Much of this change traces back to the pivotal event of Mike Brown's killing.   In this season finale episode, hosts Blake and Kayla reflect on the 10-year anniversary of Mike Brown’s killing and the Ferguson Uprising, how the region has honored his legacy, and the need for further structural change. We also hear reflections from friends and former guests of the podcast—Congresswoman Cori Bush, Damon Davis, Jae Shepherd, Mike Milton, Fran Griffin, Brittany Ferrell Young, and Cathy (Mama Cat) Daniels—on what Mike Brown means to them and their hopes for the future of the movement.  Mike Brown forever!

    In this episode of "Under the Arch," we speak with law professor and activist Justin Hansford about the challenges college students face in today's political climate. Hansford unpacks the evolving role of universities in fostering activism and social change among students. Reflecting on his own experiences as an educator and activist, he highlights the importance of empowering young voices in the fight for racial equity and systemic reform.  Drawing parallels to the legacy of Michael Brown and the transformative impact of his tragic death, Hansford explores how today's youth engage with issues of racial justice, activism, and community empowerment.  From pop culture to affirmative action, join us as we examine the pressure and expectations that young folks face.   This week’s music minute is "Buy You the World" by Doug (@dougmorestl)

    Under the Arch | S5 Ep 6: "Artists of the Movement"

    How does our creativity ignite the soul of social movements and turn our visions into reality? This week, come along for a dive into the intersection of social change and creative expression with two St. Louis natives using art to fight for access and equity in our community.  Damon Davis is an Emmy-award winning Post-Disciplinary Artist, Founder of @wearefarfetched, & Co-Director of @whosestreets. His work extends across many different mediums and his storytelling explores how identity is shaped by power and mythology. Tracy Stanton is an internationally acclaimed poet, Director of Movement Building & StoryTelling at Freedom Community Center, & Founder of @some.thingsmustbeheard. In addition to being a motivational speaker and wellbeing coach, she inspires growth across many change-based organizations.   Through a uniquely artistic lense, this episode goes outside of the box and back to the roots of what inspires us. Listen as Damon and Tracy break free from conventional legal & social frameworks and call us all to live more creatively.  This week’s Music Minute features the song “Go Flex” by Daemon.

    Under the Arch | S5 Ep. 5: "What's Next for the Workhouse" ft. Inez Bordeaux

    After emptying the notoriously hellish Workhouse jail in June of 2022, the City of St. Louis promised the community would decide what happens to the site and the land around it. It established a committee of people impacted by the jail to survey the community and put forward a proposal to re-envision the site, which has since been released. But this spring, the Jones administration ignored the community’s recommendations and announced plans to continue St. Louis’ history of disappearing vulnerable people onto the Workhouse site. “Building tiny homes at the Workhouse is unconscionable. I am disgusted at the idea of it, and everyone involved in putting this plan together ought to be ashamed,” says Inez Bordeaux, Deputy Director of Community Collaborations at ArchCity Defenders and a lead organizer with the Close the Workhouse campaign. “It is incredibly clear that while we were engaging in this process that the mayor had no intentions of following the recommendations put forward.” This week, we talk to Inez about her journey from nurse to organizer extraordinaire, the findings of the Re-Envisioning the Workhouse committee’s report, and the environmental and moral concerns of Jones’ plan to move St. Louis unhoused to the Workhouse site. Read the Re-Envisioning the Workhouse report here.  This week's Music Minute features the song "Can Tell Me Nun" by MC Tres.

    Under the Arch | S5 Ep. 4: "The Power of Workers" ft. Jeremy Al-Haj

    Picket lines are in the headlines. Recently, there’s been a surge of energy and attention on the labor movement, particularly union strikes. But at the same time, worker unionization is at an all-time low. This week, we ask: what’s the current state of the labor movement and what role does labor play in achieving equity for all?   To answer our questions, we're joined this episode by Jeremy Al-Haj, founder and Executive Director of the Missouri Workers Center, who speaks about how to unionize and go on strike, the intersection of race and labor, Missouri’s current labor landscape, and valuable lessons from the historic Fight for $15 Movement.  This week's Music Minute features the song "Meant to Be" by Tech Supreme. Follow him @TechSupreme on social media and listen to his music on your favorite platform.
