Claudia Alick reached out to natasha marin who had collaborated on a few clubhouse experiments together and pitched a conversation exploring liberation and resilience. Natasha had just finished a book project on Black Imagination and was about to start another.

They both invited Black activists, artists, organizers and community members. The final group gathered was all Black women. The beginning moments opened with a conflict. There wasn’t an understanding that the space needed to be Black exclusive.

GAMING 4 JUSTICE

Our social justice gaming stream project is designed as a weekly digital space for personal connections and further consciousness raising with fun entertainment thrown in! Every week we stream videogames and discuss a different topic and engage with people in the chat. We’ve discussed Harm vs Intent, Copaganda and State Violence, as well as premiering original concepts such as The Woke Clock. After these conversations we enjoy a game as both a palate cleanser and a way to look at the ways BIPOC, LGTBQ+, and Disability Justice intersect in entertainment and society. We also build original videogames and use those to fuel conversations. Watch Gaming4Justice on twitch.tv/callingupjustice
