Music And WeThe Role Of An Artist In Troubled Times: A Conversation With Mic Crenshaw(RECORDED ON OCTOBER 2, 2024) Interestingly, this is the first episode up since the announcement of Donald Trump's election for a presidential second term; however, despite a bit of time passing in between the recording of this conversation and current events, what was said still applies, since we are living under the same system, regardless of administration.

It Did Happen HereIDHH Presents: Fight the Power, Do No Harm: The Story of the Black Cross Healthcare Collective
The Black Cross Healthcare Collective was a group of healthcare workers who lived in Portland, Oregon. They formed after the WTO protests of 1999, after seeing a need for medical care that specifically served people who were attending direct actions, demonstrations and political protests.
In the early 2000s they pioneered community-supported trials to find an antidote to pepper spray. These trials resulted in an antidote that has been used in street protests internationally. The collective disbanded as a medical group in 2005 or so, morphing into the Black Cross Social Club.
