Media Justice

Communication is a fundamental human right. Yet people in many communities, and especially people of color, women, youth and other disenfranchised peoples, are denied this right every day.

Our media justice initiatives work towards digital inclusion, addressing the need for both access and representation so that all community members can participate in the national and global conversation about our future.

The work

• People's Tech Trainings
  People’s Tech is a free monthly workshop focused on building knowledge and skills so we can share and produce our own media.

• MAG-Net (Media Action Grassroots Network)
  Main Street Project is regional anchor for the national network whose mission is to build a community-centered movement for just media representation, rules and human rights - especially for those pushed to the margins by racism and economic inequity.

• Twin Cities Community Radio
  This collaboration aims to transform the diverse Twin Cities neighborhoods of Phillips and Frogtown by working together to launch low-power FM community radio stations – so that their stories, cultures and shared community priorities can be told in their own voices. Main Street Project is the project facilitator.

• Media Justice Policy
  We're collaborating with other organizations make sure that under-represented voices are heard as policy decisions are made about today's broadband and communications challenges and opportunities.
