This week we sat down with local bar buddy and friend of the pod, Vinay Krishnan. He is an organizer, writer, and attorney living in Brooklyn. Vinay is the National Field Organizer for the Center for Popular Democracy and is a mental health advocate for the International OCD Foundation and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. His fiction recently appeared in Barren Magazine. His non-fiction recently appeared in The Mighty and SLAM Magazine. We discuss the fight for access to healthcare, both domestically and globally, as well his mental health advocacy and his work on a recent documentary, Mind Games, that addresses often underrepresented cases of OCD. He's a smart, chill guy and we enjoyed our little chat. Hope you do too!

If you would like to reach out to Vinay for a training he can be reached at vinayrk28@gmail.com and can find his writing work at vinaykrishnan.com.

This week we sat down with two amazing people, Jacqui Rabkin and Emma Kaywin, co-directors of the Safer Spaces program at Brooklyn's House of Yes. We discuss at length their vision for a safer nightlife experience which eventually shifts to a conversation about accountability, policing, and transformative justice.  Information about House of Yes or their Safer Spaces Program can be found by connecting through their website at houseofyes.org.
