How?

There are many responses to the issue of malignant media.

We view them as four circles in a venn diagram – or four core responses.

REGULATE, RADICALISE, RESIST & REPLACE

Our theory is that when these efforts overlap, they create the conditions for revolution.

Our work

1.      Unite movements and people who are negatively affected by malignant media in realising the severity of this shared issue 

2.     Collaborate with the four core responses to media issues to energise and further build a movement media.

3.     Coordinate moments of revolution – such as Media Liberation Day, 5th November, annually – where all four responses align for a moment of awareness and action!
