<p>Bradley sits down with two Erikas — Erika Augustine, who runs <a href="https://thedavidprize.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The David Prize</a>, and Erika Sasson, a winner of said prize — about why $200K, no-strings grants can unlock long-horizon, relationship-driven change in NYC. They get into Sasson’s restorative-justice work on serious harm and why apologies, agency, and community can lower future violence better than ever-longer sentences. Bradley also floats an AI-sentencing thought-experiment, sparking a sharp debate about bias, deterrence, and what justice is actually for. New Yorkers can throw their hats in the ring at <a href="http://thedavidprize.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thedavidprize.org</a>, initial deadline is Nov 17 for their 2025 open call for visionary ideas. </p><p>This episode was taped at <a href="https://www.ptknitwear.com/podcasts/about-the-podcast-studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">P&T Knitwear</a> at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.</p><p>Send us an email with your thoughts on today’s episode: <a href="http://
