WE FORM THE FUTURE is a new podcast and radio program aired on WFNU Frogtown Community Radio, that is meant to empower Black Voices and our community.

On our very first episode we hear from professor and abolitionist Jason Sole. Jason Marque Sole is a formerly incarcerated abolitionist. He has been a criminal justice educator for over 11 years and is currently an adjunct professor at Hamline University in the Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Department. He has been a national restorative justice trainer since 2008, leading circles in jails, prisons, and community. In 2019, he received the John Legend “Can’t Just Preach” award for his work to abolish prisons. In addition, Jason is the co-founder of the Humanize My Hoodie Movement in which he challenges threat perceptions about Black people through clothing, art exhibitions, documentary screenings, and workshops.

We Form The Future is a grant funded project developed by WFNU, and funded by the Transformative Black-led Movement Fund, whose goal is to “respond to the political and cultural opportunity to defund police and begin the transition process toward developing and implementing a shared vision of community-led safety and investment".
