Featuring producer Judith McCray, journalist Jocelyn Martinez-Rosales, and social justice practitioner Alden Bell
Join us for a presentation and discussion of the work of one of Chicago’s most vital journalistic endeavors, Change Agents, a podcast series by Chicagoans trained to tell stories of their neighborhood transformations and the folks who make them happen. Executive Producer Judith McCray will be joined by journalist Jocelyn Martinez-Rosales and BUILD Chicago’s Alden Bell, members of the podcast’s Season 3 collaborative team and the producers of the episode “Justice That Heals,” which examines the philosophy behind restorative justice and the ways that community organizations like BUILD put it into practice to combat violence in Chicago’s most impacted neighborhoods.
Developed by McCray and Maurice Bisaillon of Juneteenth Productions, Change Agents is a partnership between community organizers and emerging journalists of color who are provided the tools to produce professionally crafted episodes that highlight issues, challenges and ground level efforts for change.
About Judith McCray

Twenty six years ago she founded Juneteenth Productions to find and tell stories from the perspective and experiences of people who matter, whom we hear too little about or from. She passionately believes that media is an effective tool for positive social change and reaching people and communities that are underrepresented. She loves sailing and horseback riding – but rarely gets to do either.
