A Common Pot: Stories for Grassroots Justice | Podcast | Episode 1 | The Dance ft. ACIJ

“A Common Pot,” is a podcast where we explore lessons and recipes for grassroots justice and systems change from around the world.
When we look at the grassroots justice movement, we see innovative recipes for systems change; we see organizations around the world that are pushing boundaries and finding ways to build community power despite growing authoritarianism.
The work of grassroots justice advocates is driven by one core idea- that people should have a say in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. Community participation is a key ingredient for social justice.
In this podcast series, we hear real stories of how grassroots justice advocates strengthen participation of communities in decision-making. We learn their step-by-step strategies, and follow them on a journey to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Host: Poorvi Chitalkar

About Episode 1, “The Dance”
The show notes and the full transcript of this episode is available on our website here.
How does a community preserve its right to determine its own destiny? Especially when decisions are being made without their input? In our first episode, we begin a journey to answer this question. We start in Argentina, where informal settlement communities are claiming a seat at the table to shape decisions that will protect their homes and neighborhoods from environmental pollution.
Along the way, we discover the delicate dance that a grassroots justice organization gets involved in, and what it takes to keep going in spite of the odds.
Special thanks to Catalina Marino and ACIJ - the Civil Association for Equality and Justice in Argentina.
