About Us

We are an all volunteer grassroots community that formed in 2020 that:

​

• Promotes civic engagement to demand a more informative and pro-democracy media​

• Believes it is essential that media meet the critical information needs of citizens as an essential bulwark of an inclusive representative democracy​

• Fights for truth, context and transparency in journalism

• ​Counters disinformation, supports local and non-profit journalism, and spreads pro-democracy messaging

• ​Hosts thought leaders to discuss and highlight important problems and workshop actionable steps and long-term solutions (see list of special events here)
