    Ep. 132 - Coalition-building & Looking at Logan Correctional with No New Prisons ft. Monica Cosby & Chez Rumpf
    2026/10/12
    BrownTown talks with comrades Monica Cosby and Chez Rumpf about No New Prisons Illinois (NNPIL), a campaign fighting the state’s plan to spend nearly a billion dollars building two new prisons. Like many carceral reforms, this was in response to yet another death in Stateville Prison due to horribly inhumane living conditions in 2024. Then, the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) moved to shut down the prison and, instead of investing in Illinoisians by releasing and rehabilitating people back into society, Governor Pritzker and the state of Illinois proposed $900 million to build two new prisons. Two years later, the NNPIL campaign is in full swing while setting a focus on the Logan Correctional Center closure and transfer process while still fighting for alternative budget investments, challenging (and educating) lawmakers, and building power state-wide. BrownTown and guests discuss campaign strategies; the troubled history of closing, moving, and building prisons in Illinois; deconstruct the liberal co-optation of "trauma-informed" and "gender-responsive" prisons (see "RISE IDOC"), the responsibility of architecture firms in building carceral facilities, and what "fiscal responsibility" actually looks like. Originally recorded September 11, 2023. GUESTSMonica Cosby (she/her) describes herself as a “Gramma trying to do liberatory stuff”, whose life and work have been shaped and informed by the communities to which she belongs, including artists, scholars, and moms with whom she was incarcerated, and whose survival was and is an act of resistance against a system that would dispose of them. Monica founded Acting OutSide Performance Crew in 2021 and is also a scholar, thinker, and writer, having essays published or reprinted in TruthOut and The Long Term: Solitary Confinement Is Used To Break People, On Leaving Prison: A Reflection on Entering and Exiting Communities and in the St. Thomas Law Journal "Restorative Revelations" (with Annalise Buth).Chez Rumpf (she/her) is an author, educator, collaborator, and recovering academic. She is a member of Love & Protect, an abolitionist collective that supports criminalized survivors of gender-based violence, and No New Prisons IL. Her scholarship and community-based work focuses on gender-based violence, carceral systems, post-incarceration experiences, higher education in prison, and visual research methods. Her book Recovering Identity: Criminalized Women's Fight for Dignity and Freedom was published with the University of California Press in May 2023.Learn more about the No New Prisons campaign on their site, Instagram, and join the campaign!

  • Ep. 131 - Debunking the Manniverse & Fitness Against Fascism 3.0 ft. Colin Davis

    Ep. 131 - Debunking the Manniverse & Fitness Against Fascism 3.0 ft. Colin Davis
    2026/09/15
    BrownTown finally takes on the manniverse through a Fitness Against Fascism lens with internet homie Colin Davis, fitness coach and Lefty content creator. Contrary to what gyms, popular workout trends, or wellness influencers may tell you, physical fitness has always been political. Over the past decade alone we've experienced political flashpoint after political flashpoint that have demanded attention from all corners of our socialized life, including and especially fitness and algorithm-driven social media.Colin and BrownTown explain plainly why fitness is inherently political, underscoring that leaving room for "neutrality", in the field that often equates physical fitness with masculinity, has made space for impressionable young men to get caught up in the the so-called "manniverse". What begins as personal training tips to make dem gainz too often becomes a co-opted tributary into vapid looksmaxxing and hustlepreneurship before finally arriving at blatant misogyny, sexism, and other forms of prejudice. The former fringe corner of the internet over a decade ago has now influenced various industries, social groups, and halls power, most notably the White House.But on the flip side, progressives, leftists, and folx who just want a better world exercise and workout too! And we don't have to succumb to the violent, racist, fascist, and patriarchal forces that too often hijack our most human activities and relationships. Colin reminds us that, "Hard things are possible if you work at them." If we are to meet this moment -- online and IRL -- we have to get serious about just how political fitness is. The Technofascist Right already did.GUESTColin Davis is fitness coach at Five Point Training who began making content as a means to showcase a compassionate and community oriented alternative to the alienating rhetoric targeted towards young men. By incorporating an empathetic mindset, and positive perspectives on strength, his messages have resonated far beyond his original expectations, with features in Wired, Fox & Friends, and beyond. With the underlying goal to create alignment and connectivity across the aisle, he continues to be driven by the belief that with the right tools, resources, and positive figures, we can transition from a generation fueled by animosity and alienation and into one of kindness, optimism and community action.

    Ep. 130 - Chinga La Migra: Organizing under a MAGA Regime ft. Rey Wences & Any Huamani
    2026/05/30
    BrownTown continues the "Chinga La Migra" series discussing how ICE ain't shit with Rey Wences of Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and Any Huamani of Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC). Fast-forwarding from the last conversation in summer 2025 focusing on the criminal-legal battles against ICE, the team reflects on the experiences, strategies, and lessons learned from resisting and building power during Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago in fall 2025. Now that the consistent bombardment of ICE violently kidnapping our neighbors is not as ever-present nor making national headlines, how do hyperlocal and regional resistance cadres of everyday people, community-based organizations, and larger policy networks channel energy and, in some cases, new found awakening into sustainable material change? How do we balance responding to the moment effectively while unapologetically exposing the conditions that got us here in the first place? Here's their take. Originally recorded April 17, 2026. GUESTS Rey Wences is a longtime community organizer and advocate with over a decade of experience championing immigrant justice. Born in Mexico City and raised in Chicago, Rey co-founded the Immigrant Youth Justice League and later Organized Communities Against Deportations, leading impactful campaigns such as erasing the Chicago and Cook County gang databases. Their work spans grassroots organizing, direct action, and communications at the local and national levels. Before serving as Chicago's First Deputy of the Mayor's Office of Immigrant, Migrant and Refugee Rights, Rey was Director of Communications at Organizing Power in Numbers, a national economic justice organization. Rey currently works at Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Follow ICIRR on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Any Huamani is an organizer in the Southwest Side. Her and her family migrated to Chicago’s North Wide from Peru when she was 5. Any grew up in the West Side of Chicago where she saw the disinvestment and an interest grew in her to find out why. Since then, Any volunteered in different non profits and became an organizer the Chicago Hotel Strike in 2018. She is now the Immigration Defense Coordinator at Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC). She also co-leads Treatment Not Trauma, a city wide mental health campaign calling for the reopening of public mental health centers and a citywide nonpolice crisis response. In her free time, she spends time with her two boys and running. Follow BPNC on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
