Releasing hyper-individualism and self-interest and working together in community is needed to build a more inclusive world. Mutual aid and radical generosity offer transformative paths towards building a stronger, more equitable future. As we stand at a crossroads of societal evolution, it’s crucial to expand our understanding of what it truly means to be in community with each other.
Calling Up Justice has been having an energetic conversation about streaming platforms and audience options. Several hundred thousand folks are participating in this conversation. After hearing that studios are continuing to lock away content and raise prices, many folks are ready to cancel their accounts. Some have already left. The conversation continues. We promise to post additional videos here.
Calling up Justice is a fan of advice channels but so often they can be toxic. We love Frinny’s channels and enjoy her reading of AITA type material from her audience and reddit. We discovered them on tiktok but you can enjoy their work in both video and audio on the channels below. Check out their project Vibes n Delights below.
POWER NOT PITY: A podcast for disabled people of color everywhere
Mutual aid and community support play crucial roles in empowering entrepreneurs to build anticapitalist businesses that challenge traditional profit-driven models. By embracing these principles, entrepreneurs can foster a more equitable and socially responsible business environment that prioritizes collective well-being over only focusing on individualistic gains.
Event Report: Calling Up Justice Producer Jesenia @NeuroSpicyNetworking attended this amazing hybrid virtual Black is Tech Conference.
Welcome to Calling Up Justice Artificial Intelligence Experiments! We started tinkering with AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL·E, and MidJourney as soon as they hit the scene. We hopped onto the DAIR Mastodon server and dug into papers like “Stochastic Parrots” to learn from experts on AI Ethics. Once we spotted the unfairness baked into this tech, we knew it would soon be everywhere. So we crafted a video game that takes a stand against platforms taking from visual artists. Yep, we’re part of the Archive of Our Own fanfic crowd, and we’re sure that our data was probably scrubbed. To a certain extent we think of these platform as partially ours since they wouldn’t exists without the data they got from us. Check out our fanfic collections and visual art we’ve generated. We’re experimenting with AI to fight bias and make things more accessible. Sure, we’re a bit skeptical, but we’re all about understanding these tools and having some real influence. Our focus? Using them to push for disability and racial justice in our AI experiments and projects. Our Accessible Innovation project is producing tangible results.
Calling Up Justice supports the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike by continuing to produce our work. As individuals we publish our work of critique and celebration of cultural productions on social media platforms independently. We are not influencers on behalf of commercial or corporate powers. It is because our work is counter to supremacy culture that silence is never the solution. We are not promoting struck work. We are using it.
while we appreciate the acknowledgment of these view count milestones, Calling Up Justice looks beyond views as a sole indicator of success. The capitalist nature of social media platforms, the potential manipulation of metrics, and the challenges faced by certain creators all contribute to our skepticism. We believe that genuine engagement, meaningful interactions, and the positive impact we create hold greater significance than mere view counts.
🌈 Your journey towards meaningful connections begins at One Free Community – where every interaction is an opportunity to shape a brighter, more empathetic world. Join us today, and let’s redefine community together! 🌈
