ORGANIZING

SoapBox incorporates a holistic and intersectional approach to name, frame, resist, and reimagine issues into transformative solutions through art and action.  Our film, podcast, and editorial work shifts cultural narratives by critiquing the root of oppressive structures while pairing accessible and digestible art and community-building initiatives with deliberate calls to action through a media-based organizing model. Beyond the media we create, we also build power with communities and movements behind the camera, developing and sustaining relationships within movement spaces. This trusted and fostered camaraderie has been forged through short- and long-term campaign planning and strategizing, physical protests, direct mutual aid work, and more. This community-based approach and history of struggle both holds us accountable and strengthens our work.

We Use Our Work & Experience to Power...

SoapBox Action Works

SAW is part of our film production and multimedia model that documents, consults, amplifies, and builds power with movements, grassroots organizations, and other non-profits to tell the stories of their campaigns and struggles through a cinematic lens. This often includes organizing and sustaining relationships within campaigns and alongside organizations.
More

Education & Workshops

We facilitate participatory workshops, build presentations, participate in Q&A’s, and develop educational curriculum and interdisciplinary opportunities to name, frame, and creatively dismantle existing power dynamics, radically reimagine space, and provide tangible skills to do so.
more

Live Events

We build events to showcase SoapBox films with our broader community, make space for important dialogue, and support each other.  This includes project premieres, live Bourbon 'n BrownTown podcast recordings, and fundraisers.

Coalition to Decarcerate IL

What started as a coalition to end Illinois' prison lockdowns and fight for better medical conditions for those inside during the height of COVID-19, the Coalition to Decarcerate IL is a group of loved ones of the incarcerated, currently and formerly incarcerated individuals, activists, and creatives working towards abolition and fighting for the rights and dignity of currently incarcerated individuals and their loved ones.

Education & Programming
Camp True/False

Over the True/False Film Festival weekend, high school students learn the nuts and bolts of filmmaking, incorporate media literacy into their understandings of social justice, and tell their own stories through interpersonal relationship-building, spoken word, and filmmaking.

Live Events
Fitness Against Fascism

FAF decolonizes the notion that fitness is apolitical as the event curates a space for sweat and solidarity in order to breakdown systems and institutions of oppression that affect every industry, including (and especially) the allied healthcare continuum.
