Trek Flights was inspired by a wine flight. A Wine Flight is a selection of wine presented in a row for tasting. Often, this involves placing a few wine glasses with different types of white wine or red wine types on a special board for serving. 4-6 wines are typically in a flight. We started developing the concept under the banner of Trek Table and Calling Up Justice published these videos on tiktok.

CitiBikeKaren Talk: The Hysterectomy Celebration Fundraiser. Maiamama joins us from the recovery bed as we discuss the CitiBikeKaren Discourse. The “Citi Bike Karen” video footage shows Black teens, subjected to what is widely being derided as fake tears by Sarah Jane Comrie, a physician assistant whose calls for “help” followed the playbook of other white women “Karens” who weaponize their whiteness typically at the expense of Black people. We produced this as a fundraiser for Maiama’s recovery fund.
In 2012 a study found that every 28 hours a black person was extrajudicially killed by vigilante, security guard, or the police in the United States. This statistic was immediately contested and the country is still embroiled with addressing a problem it struggles to acknowledge. Inspired by the conversation we needed to have this project was developed.
The Every 28 Hours Plays is a collection of micro-plays that address the topic of police violence and racism. As part of Calling Up Justice’s experiments with artificial intelligence and social justice we experimented with producing a script that was anti-racist.

Calling Up Justice supports programs and projects of it’s practice members. To support Matthew Reynolds we speak in and sometimes facilitate his Liberated DEI Let’s Talk Clubhouse room. We also did hyper link performances on twitter which we have deleted from our platforms. The result is a weekly space for regular decolonization and ungaslighting. There’s also the recording that are like a podcast. Listen to real people talk about liberation, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
