The final event in our Activism in Action theme of the Criminal Justice Event Series features Elisabeth Epps, who established the Colorado Freedom Fund (CFF) in 2018. The CFF is comprised of abolitionists who are trying to work themselves out of existence. They support litigation, legislation, and direct action to end wealth-based pre-trial detention, and the fund, itself, is used to pay cash bail in full for individuals who cannot afford to pay it themselves. It has paid bail amounts from $50 to $50,000. After CFF pays bail, they work with released individuals to ensure they attend their court dates and have their cases resolved.



The CFF’s work is meaningful in a number of ways: It illuminates how a structural feature of the criminal justice system is set up to criminalize poverty, and more directly, it provides individuals accused but not convicted of crimes with their freedom prior to their trials or plea bargains. People who are free prior to the resolution of their cases are able to maintain their health, housing, family and other relationships, and employment. Also, they have better case outcomes, as well in that they are more likely to have their cases dismissed and less likely to plead guilty.

Part of being an activist is being intersectional, including everyone in your activism. And I've noticed a pattern of activism that includes every minority except disabled people. And not only that, but causing a lot of harm to us in the process. So let's talk about it.

(Also I want to acknowledge that some of the things I say in this video are considered "hot takes", I am happy to have a discussion about it but I ask that you please remember to stay kind in the comments. Thank you!!)

Environmental activism, Community empowerment and local actions - From theory to practice in Sustainable Architecture
Speaker: Ivan Ralis

What does being sustainable really mean to us as architects and how does that actually work in real life projects? How does one try changing things for the better, little by little? How to empower and help local builders who want to introduce new building techniques or organisations who want to try out new things? Based on the "non profit" projects WEbuilding has been carrying out, Ivan will share some of the experience the team gathered along the way. (During the Zero Waste Berlin Festival, WEbuilding will share some knowledge about Sustainable Architecture and how activism can empower local communities).

Ami Chen Mills-Naim talks with us about how she got into activism, particularly around politics and the climate crisis. She reminds us that spirituality and anger, and/or opposition, are not mutually exclusive, and protesting is often necessary to get the attention necessary for creating any kind of meaningful change. She shows us that we can show up, be human, and learn about - and fight against - grave injustices, without losing touch with our essential nature and oneness.


Her grounding and humility have allowed her to learn about her own biases without taking them personally, while still committing to personal change and growth in these areas. She courageously holds conversations with others she disagrees with in order to impart this wisdom and to see if they can find common ground.


Ami shows us that it's possible to hold more than one feeling and viewpoint at once (e.g. anger and love). She has joined many activist groups and enjoys bringing the spiritual side to the work she does on these issues. We admire her fortitude in joining these movements that are working tirelessly to push forth equality and human rights, as well as efforts to fight the climate crisis we face as residents of this planet.

Comics book creators take note: Kickstarter employees have voted to unionize, but it's not simply because of better working conditions. Thanks to a controversial comic book funding campaign, Kickstarter employees now want the ability to help dictate the kinds of projects the company allows to be funded on the platform and they've said as much. It shouldn't be all that surprising, as Kickstarter itself re-incorporated in 2015 to be a "Public Benefit Corporation" and not a for profit company. This is important when understanding what is going on with comic book crowdfunding today, and why some campaigns -- like "Jawbreakers" -- were cancelled with little or no explanation.

We're not going to end violence by telling people that it's morally wrong, says Jamila Raqib, executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution. Instead, we must find alternative ways to conduct conflict that are equally powerful and effective. Raqib promotes nonviolent resistance to people living under tyranny -- and there's a lot more to it than street protests. She shares encouraging examples of creative strategies that have led to change around the world and a message of hope for a future without armed conflict. "The greatest hope for humanity lies not in condemning violence but in making violence obsolete," Raqib says.
