Episode 9 - WA Roundtable

1ME heads to the Pacific Northwest on this episode to learn from a roundtable of experiments in Washington. With Kiss out on vacation, Eva joins Dame in conversation with JM Wong, a writer and activist in Seattle; Cassandra Butler of Free Them All WA, a collective committed to the abolition of the criminal punishment system in WA that began as a subset of Covid 19 Mutual Aid; and Zhou Shuxuan of the Massage Parlor Outreach Project, a grassroots formation of Asian/Asian American community members organizing to provide support for migrant Asian massage parlor workers, sex workers, and care workers. The squad talks about the ways that criminalization intersects with Asian migrant experiences, food and communication as the building blocks of organization, how they adapted their approaches in the era of pandemic, and much more.SHOW NOTES Learn more about MPOP - https://www.mpopsea.org/Support Free Them All WA - https://www.facebook.com/FreeThemAllWa/Get in tune with APICAG - https://www.facebook.com/people/APICAGAsian-Pacific-Islander-Cultural-Awareness-Group/100069203014149/Subscribe to 1ME - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-million-experiments/id1589966282Subscribe to AirGo - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/airgo/id1016530091Dig into One Million Experiments - https://millionexperiments.com/
