BreakThrough News:
A New Media Arm of the Movement!
This week saw the launch of
BreakThrough News, a new video platform for the
movements challenging the military-industrial complex and Wall Street
capitalism. Several long-time ANSWER activists are working with other
allies in creating BreakThrough and we want to share it with you, as
an ANSWER supporter, to get in on the ground floor.
Follow
this link to watch a promo video (in the "About" section) and then
become an early supporter of this project. The first
BreakThrough News show airs on March 19th, and over the next three
weeks the team is seeking donors who will receive exclusive content.
Over 150 people have already donated in the first 24 hours, and 3,000
have subscribed on social media.
There's a huge number of people who
are now engaging with social movements and left-wing ideas, and are
primarily consuming news through online video. BreakThrough will offer
a unique, new voice to reach this community of people with a strong
global viewpoint.
BreakThrough is being constructed as a
media arm of the broad movement, soliciting active participation and
submissions from the grassroots to help uncover and lift up the untold
struggles of poor and working people. Check
out the promo video on the Patreon site.

About BreakThrough:
BreakThrough will feature in-depth
interviews with movement leaders, weekly news, field coverage of
protests and rallies of grassroots campaigns, and explainer videos
that will be of immediate educational value to those engaged in
movements for change.
At present, five mega-corporations
dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch
and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and
even most “alternative” media is forced to respond.
We are breaking through that cycle
— to tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class
communities. Out of these stories we will construct a
different narrative of the world, as it is and in real
time.
People’s movements in every corner
of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But
these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media.
They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm
to break through!
