Recently Dame and Kiss had the opportunity to hop on City Cast Chicago, a daily news podcast, fresh every weekday at 6 a.m. It’s a smart and delightful new way to connect with the city we share. With host Jacoby Cochran, the guys talk about the use of Chicago as a political scapegoat for politicians unwilling to offer common sense solutions to gun violence, Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s 10 p.m. curfew for minors, the environmental justice fight to end “sacrifice zones,” and some more book-themed good news you definitely want to stick around for!

AirGo's excited to help spread the word about a new show from our movement family! Zayd Dohrn was born underground - his parents were radicals and counter-culture outlaws, on the run from the FBI. Now Zayd takes us back to the 1970s, when his parents and their young friends in the Weather Underground Organization declared war on the United States government. They brawled with riot cops on the streets of Chicago, bombed the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, broke comrades out of prison, and teamed up with Black militant groups to rob banks, fight racism - and help build a revolution. The first episodes just came out, subscribe wherever you get your pods!

Through the Portal is a podcast from the Social Justice Portal Project, a national collaborative think tank hosted by the Social Justice Initiative at the University of Illinois Chicago. Each month, grassroots activists and radical scholars will give voice to community struggles, national strategies and sustainable alternatives for the future. The guest speakers, who are also Portal Project participants, explore what it means to walk through the portal of the current moment by centering racial and social justice issues. On Episode 2, Dame and cohost Teresa Cordova of UIC talk Economic Democracy with Esteban Kelly. Esteban is Executive Director for the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives and is a worker-owner and co-founder of AORTA (Anti-Oppression Resource & Training Alliance), a worker co-op that builds capacity for social justice projects through intersectional training and consulting. He breaks down how building a worker coop might be easier than you think, the ways that we have to reclaim concepts of structure and organization from the capitalist class, and what he imagines the great labor awakening of today turning into.

On this episode, the 1ME squad talks with Alicia Hurtado of the Chicago Abortion Fund, a movement stalwart that has been funding and supporting abortion access in Illinois and beyond for over 30 years. Alicia breaks down the relationship between abortions and criminalization, the steps we can all take right now to make abortion access possible in our communities, and the ways in which fighting the stigmatization of this necessary health care procedure can impact how we understand care as a whole.

Each month, grassroots activists and radical scholars will give voice to community struggles, national strategies and sustainable alternatives for the future. The guest speakers, who are also Portal Project participants, explore what it means to walk through the portal of the current moment by centering racial and social justice issues. On this first episode, cohosts Damon Williams of AirGo and Teresa Córdova of UIC's Great Cities Institute talk about Abolition with organizer, law professor, and writer Dean Spade.
