We Are Gods Chosen People! We Are More than the labels that the world has painted us with, we are more than the jobs or careers that we have pursued based on the opportunities that we have had in “their” societies. A society that was never intended for us and societies that we have had no power over shaping nor cultivating. We Are not Africans, We Are not Americans, We Are Not Britains, or French, We Are Gods Chosen People and soon the whole world will know: “And they all shall be called children of the living God, and every angel and every spirit shall know, yea, they shall know that these are My children, and that I am their Father in uprightness and righteousness, and that I love them.” Jubilee 1:24
In this sermon entitled "We Are More", we were heavily armed with a revelation that devastates the scheme's of the enemy. Brother's Adam Corra and Justin Treaster made us aware of the schemes employed by the enemy that seek to get us to take ourselves out of the fight. After being made aware of these insidious tactics, the brothers impressed upon us with conviction who we really are because of who HE is. This message will enliven every area of your life, set you ablaze, and set you firmly on the rock so that you too might set out.
BrownTown links up with Melvin Farley, formerly incarcerated friend of Illinois Prison Project. In Part Three of the "We Are More" series, BrownTown and Melvin discuss re-entering society after incarceration, combating the "law and order" narrative and resurgent fear-mongering politics tactics, as well as the much talked about Illinois SAFE-T Act that goes into full effect January 1, 2023. Watch the micro-docs, listen to the series, and take action at SoapBoxPO.com/We-Are-More and IllinoisPrisonProject.org.Melvin's initially shares his experience with incarceration and how the Illinois Prison Project supported in his release. The team then details some of the inner workings of the prison system and as well as the adjustments and setbacks when re-entering society. BrownTown unpacks the grassroots work that lead up to the signing of the Illinois SAFE-T Act, particularly the Pretrial Fairness Act provision, and dispels the misinformation, disinformation, and straight up lies about the new law that have been circling this season. While comparing such right-wing and establishment tactics to those of yesteryear (i.e. Willie Hortonism and fake FBI-created Black Panther Party newspapers), the gang embraces the progressive changes to come in the region while situating them within a larger struggle. GUESTMelvin Farley is an affiliate of the Illinois Prison Project who was released from incarceration 18 months ago due to the organization's efforts. He is currently establishing structure for his new life and looking forward to new opportunities and relationships.

BrownTown shares virtual space with Sandra Brown, formerly incarcerated survivor and current Senior Advisor and Visiting Scholar with the Women's Justice Institute (WJI). In Part One of the "We Are More" series, BrownTown and Sandra discuss the four leading criminal legal system trends that have spurred the rise in women's mass incarceration and meet them with five fundamental rights and needs as pathways to justice (WJI). At the intersection of carcerality and patriarchy, the team collectively addresses and assesses root causes and ways to reverse women's incarceration on the path towards prison abolition.

It's what happens before, during, and after it." --Women's Justice Institute GUESTSandra Brown is a Chicago native with a love for learning and helping others. When she became an incarcerated survivor, she spent over half of her sentence working as a teaching assistant while striving to earn an education via correspondence courses. She has helped countless women earn their GEDs as well as complete various vocational programs. For almost a decade, she served as president of Toastmasters: A Woman's Voice, where she developed communication and leadership opportunities for up to 60 women each session. Barriers that Brown experienced during her own educational and empowerment journey while incarcerated undergirds the work that she does now as a Senior Advisor and Visiting Scholar with the Women's Justice Institute (WJI) in Chicago. Though Brown lives in Los Angeles, she works to promote economic and educational opportunities to other justice-impacted women. Some of her advocacy work entails developing curriculum aimed at understanding decarceration and domestic violence as well as writing policy papers recommending ways to support quality higher education degree programs to women who are incarcerated. Her book Odyssey in Progress is now available and she has a piece featured in the reSentencing Journal, published by Tufts University.

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST Episode 062 7000APART 7000apart is the husband-and-wife duo of Amelie Eiding and Jon Kresin. Their story began when Amelie left her hometown of Stockholm, Sweden to attend high school as an exchange student in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was there where she met Jon and they fell in love. When she returned to Sweden, the couple started 7000apart as their creative project together named after the 7,000 kilometer distance between them. They spent three years like this before reuniting and getting married, and 7000apart became a serious artistic endeavor. They released their debut record “We Are More” in 2019, which now has over 100,000 streams and features on over 1,300 playlists on Spotify alone. 7000apart's music transcends the relationship between Jon & Amelie. One of the cornerstones of their writing is mental health awareness, and their lyrics often touch on personal struggles and finding strength through dark times. They want to create music that resonates with others & helps them to feel a little less alone. The couple worked with Grammy-winning Nashville producer FEMKE on their latest single “Nothing to Worry About.” The song is their reminder to us all that no matter how hopeless the world seems right now, we can still find joy in whatever moment we're in.

Teenage girls, under normal circumstances, wrestle with issues of identity and body image. But for young women with a chronic, rare disease, those struggles can be more complicated. That makes the wisdom, self-awareness, and self-confidence that shine through The Sick Chick blog all the more remarkable. We spoke to Shira Strongin, founder of The Sick Chick and a Global Genes 2015 honoree for teen advocacy, about her battle with Ehler-Danlos Syndrom, how she’s come to appreciate what her disease has taught her, and her work with other teen rare disease advocates to form We Are More, an effort to convey to the media and public that teens with chronic illnesses are defined by more than their diseases.
