CRISIS Part 1 - Relationships Evolving Possibilities (REP) in Minneapolis

One Million Experiments is back in your ear for Season 3, and we're diving deep with experiments around community crisis response! As our sociopolitical reality births crisis after crisis, the 1ME squad of Dame, Kiss, and Eva dig deep with three different experiments to learn how we can better show up in moments of communal and structural crisis. They also  are joined on every episode’s Peer Review by special guest Deana Lewis, a founding member of Just Practice Collaborative–a group that builds communities’ capacities to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual assault without relying on state-based systems. As we figure out what redefining and creating safety look like under the carceral conditions of our time, it’s just as true as ever that we don’t need one answer to how we get free–we need one million experiments.On this episode we welcome back organizers from REP (Relationships Evolving Possibilities), a true experiment made up of dedicated community members 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. REP core members Rox and Jason break down how they've learned to stay grounded in heightened moments, what committing to each other for ten years has made possible for the group, and much more.SHOW NOTESReceive support from the REP hotline - 952-737-3730Watch the episode on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu5_d2IGmSAConnect with REP - https://repformn.org/Watch the 1ME film - https://www.respairmedia.com/one-million-experimentsCheck out 1ME online - millionexperiments.comLearn more about Respair - respairmedia.com
