One Million Experiments: In the Field is a travel show about how people create safety without policing and prisons. Since the 2020 uprising, One Million Experiments has been in the lab with organizers from across this land talking about what keeps us safe and inviting you to participate in the joyous work of liberation.
Now, five years after uprising, hosts Damon and Daniel get out of the lab and into the field to make tangible and irresistible community-built strategies for safety that exist all around us, and serve as an antidote to the despair created when carceral systems are the only option. We don’t need one answer to how we get free–we need one million experiments.
