In Episode 2, we explore Electronic Hall Passes aka E-Hall Pass. School leaderse are relying on E-Hall Pass systems to enhance school surveillance to monitor students’ locations, track pass duration and manage hallway traffic. These systems log when and where students go.

We invited the National Campaign for Police Free Schools, the Advancement Project and the Alliance for Educational Justice to help us understand why school are turning to controversial technogies to monitor students’ movements.

Proceeds from this event go towards supporting the National Youth Summit on Digital Liberation. Please consider donating an additional amount to support the summit.

Let's create new worlds together! Join lead artists Dr. Catherine Squires and Marika Pfefferkorn for a creative collaging series to get grounded—in art, in the words of Octavia Butler, and in community.

The Octavia's Collage series offers five thematic collaging events, hosted at local sites across the Twin Cities in 2025-2026. Each event will draw on a different theme from books and essays by Octavia Butler and writers inspired by her legacy.

Two decades after the publication of her last book, Fledgling, and ten years after the collection Octavia's Brood declared a new generation taking up her mantle, this series will seed creative energy and support youth dedicated to dreaming a new world.
