Public Newsroom 123: Building Brave Spaces for Community
7 NOV 2019 · How can we create community spaces that are more inclusive and allow for challenging conversations?
One key ingredient is establishing a "brave space agreement". Brave space is a concept that emerged from lessons shared by social justice educators in "The Art of Effective Facilitation" (https://styluspub.presswarehouse.com/browse/book/9781579229740/The-Art-of-Effective-Facilitation) as a "new way to frame dialogue around diversity and social justice" that de-centered systems of oppression, such as white supremacy and patriarchy. Brave Space agreements can be used for meetings, workshops, and restorative conversations.
Led by actor-vist, social and emotional consultant, educator, and warrior for justice and radical self-love Jenna Anast, (www.journeyswithjenna.com) this week’s workshop centered around the importance of creating a brave space where colleagues, co-workers, and friends etc. can feel brave while sharing their truth. Anast also serves as the Head of Community and Exhibition for OTV - Open Television.

Public Newsroom 117: Chicago's Eviction Crisis
9 SET 2019 · In May 2019 Chicago Reader published a two-year-long investigation into Pangea Real Estate by staff writer Maya Dukmasova that found the company had filed roughly 9,000 eviction cases since 2009. What’s more Dukmasova’s reporting revealed that little is known about Chicago’s larger eviction court system and the 20,000 cases filed there annually. “It's difficult to overstate the degree of historical disinterest in the eviction of renters in Chicago . . . rental housing in poor neighborhoods went largely unexamined—particularly the financial and social dynamics between landlords and tenants.” Dukmasova wrote in the piece.
This week at the #PublicNewsroom Dukmasova shares a breakdown of her investigation into Pangea as well as an historic overview of eviction court and tenants’ rights. The evening also features a panel of experts including Mark Swartz from the Lawyers' Committee for Better Housing and Steve McKenzie, a long-time attorney for the city who litigates against landlords for building code violations.
