Barter Up and One Free Community (OFC) join forces to challenge capitalism’s impact on community support, fostering innovative spaces for meaningful exchanges and mutual aid. Driven by frustration with consumerism, Barter Up created events where goods and services are traded through donations or a “pay what you can” model. Collaborating with OFC, they exemplify the power of united communities, exchanging insights and inspiring positive change while magnifying the impact of mutual aid groups for social justice.
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. We also wanted to create something hopeful and we found this machine generated fantasy healing.

In 2022, Calling Up Justice offered a variety of events and programs for community empowerment and enjoyment. The Dis/Rep project was a series of virtual engagements focused on disability representation and accessibility. The Justice Producers Collaborative connected justice producers monthly cultivation calls. The Calling Up Justice Residency offered artists amenities such as an editing and recording studio, a private garden, and a comfortable bedroom, as well as field trips and fun activities. We Charge Genocide TV added additional resources on the ongoing genocide of Black, Indigenous, and Trans communities, and the Every 28 Hours Plays created a resource page for artists in Akron, Ohio responding to the killing of Jayland Walker. The F the Gala event reimagined traditional gala fundraising through a virtual program promoting accessible, inclusive, and equitable practices, featuring interactive spaces for discussions and idea generation. It was a full year of great work we are all very proud of.
