Episode 3: Policing
<p>In Episode 3: Policing, we explore the impact of policing on communities. Our hosts Sheriff and Malika speak with Destiny Bell, a local Chicago organizer from No Cop Academy. The No Cop Academy campaign was formed in 2017 to stop the construction of a $95 million dollar police training academy, and they continue to rally around divestment from and demilitarization of the police. Destiny and our hosts share their experiences with police in their communities and schools and how though police are supposed to “protect” they actually cause more harm.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>CREDITS</strong></p> <p><strong>Co-Hosts:</strong> Sherrif Da Greatest and Malika Anthony</p> <p><strong>Special Guests:</strong> Destiny Bell</p> <p><strong>Production Team:</strong> AnnMarie Brown, Malika Anthony, Marlee Rich, Nicole Negrete, Shayne.Khaalvin, Sherrif Da Greatest</p> <p><strong>Invocation:</strong> Excerpt from “I Hate Love” by T.W., a young person currently incarcerated in one of the Illinois youth prisons; read by Shayne.Khaalvin</p> <p><strong>Original Music:</strong> Shayne.Khaalvin; IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shayne.khaalvinmusic/"><u>@shayne.khaalvinmusic</u></a></p> <p><strong>Other Music:</strong> Kaba Studios and Aced Spade</p> <p><strong>Producer:</strong> Isa Vázquez</p> <p><strong>Consultation and Guidance:</strong> Damon Williams and Daniel Kisslinger of AirGo Radio</p> <p><strong>Podcast Art: </strong>Brian Herrera; IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brianherrera.art/">@brianherrera.art</a></p> <p>Special thanks to Circles & Ciphers and the Children and Family Justice Center at the Northwestern Bluhm Legal Clinic</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Transcript available at: </strong>https://www.thefinal5campaign.com/episode-3-policing</p>
