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

Digital Equity
Digital Equity panel featuring Claudia Alick. Almost overnight, the pandemic accelerated a shift to creating, collaborating, and presenting online. Given the ongoing issues of the pandemic and climate change, this trend is not going away. The barriers of white supremacy culture, inaccessibility, and exclusionary policies are as insidious in the digital space as they are in our towns and cities. As the performing arts explore this new form, how do we build digital equity? What do we as artists, agents, producers, and presenters need to know as we plan our own excursions into digital spaces? Are there works, models, or strategies from the last 18 months that suggest a way forward?
NPN 2021 Conference Consultation
Calling Up Justice was hired to provide Disability Justice Consultation for NPN’s 2021 Annual Conference. Below is a rough description of our initial scope of work. NPN is a national arts service organization, grantmaker, and movement-builder working to create a more just and equitable world — one that champions freedom of expression, liberation and anti-oppression, and building and claiming collective power for radical systems change. Through national programs, investments in our communities in the South, and engagement in global movements, we seek to build artists’ power, advance racial and cultural justice in the arts, and foster relationship-building and reciprocity between individuals, institutions, and communities.
