One Million Experiments

Register here to attend.

One Million Experiments is a multimodal project that explores how we define and create safety in the world without the use of prisons or police. Developed by Damon A. Williams and Daniel Kisslinger in partnership with Interrupting Criminalization and Project Nia, One Million Experiments includes a podcast, documentary film, and a curated collection of community-based safety projects working to build solutions that are grounded in transformation instead of punishment. The point of One Million Experiments is not to find permanent solutions to ever-changing problems, but to gather more ideas, tools, and skills so that we don’t have to start from scratch every time.

The screening will be followed by a discussion and Q & A moderated by Robin D.G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA.

This event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies, the UCLA Law School’s Criminal Justice Program, the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy, and UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center.
