Calling Up Justice works with folks who use a number of different ways to describe their practice. There are a number of different acronyms that are used to refer to initiatives that focus on promoting justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). Some of the most common acronyms include:
EDI: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
IDEA: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility
JEDI: Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
DJEDI: Decolonization, Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
The EDI Industrial Complex may be seen as a vested interest that influences public policy and decision-making, with the goal of promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion for profit or other agendas. Some critics argue that the EDI Industrial Complex may be focused on managing the symptoms of inequality and discrimination rather than addressing the root causes. Calling Up Justice believes in familiarizing yourself these concepts.
The Howlround anthology celebrates a decade of publishing essays, livestreaming events, and bringing theatre practitioners together to amplify progressive and disruptive ideas, and exists as a result of the thousands of theatremakers who have shared their collective wisdom through contributions to this commons-based free and open platform.

The writing highlighted offers a much-needed reminder that alternatives to the status quo are possible, and we are making them together by practicing otherwise everyday.

Artistic and Process Statement: Claudia Alick’s “Black Men Dancing” began as an exercise working with the male figure. She had been primarily celebrating the black femme form and pivoted to male bodies for this project. This was a time where Claudia was obsessed with making the AI generators produce Black people which required a surprising amount of effort. Somehow even black outlines were suggesting white identities an it took specific prompts and specialized fine tuning data to get this result. She fed in images references from sports, history, and dance. Music paired with video is On Time – Metro Boomin & John Legend
