The path toward our renewed commitment to liberation.

Dear ,

In September, we convened our staff for the first time in our new organizational formation to align ourselves around this next chapter for MediaJustice. Nestled in the Hudson Valley, we celebrated our journey to this milestone, regrounded ourselves in the current tech and media terrain, and paved the path for our movement.

For the past 15 years, we’ve been organizing against the harms of Big Tech and Media while creating a new field with our partners and allies: our media justice movement. And yet, the rapid acceleration of technology, corporate media, and their harms on our people has been unprecedented in modern history.

With the rise of AI creeping into our daily lives, we’re reminded of the massive amount of water and energy consumption ([link removed]) that data centers need to power it. As the election unfolds next week, the widespread racialized mis- and disinfo on social media channels makes it increasingly difficult to delineate what is true online. Each day, we’re reminded how crucial it is to act now to prevent the collapse of our communication channels, environment, and safety and prosperity of our communities.

So, we asked our MJ staff what our renewed strategy means to them. And they had a lot to say:

Why is Now Critical for #ShiftingTerrain? ([link removed])
As we embark on this new chapter, we all approach this work from different intersections. However, our commitment remains the same: we will BLOCK the media and tech industry’s attempts to expand their power and BUILD a people-centered movement that will achieve a liberated media and tech future for us all.

In collective solidarity,
MediaJustice

To foster an inclusive movement, we've created a Plain Language version ([link removed]) of our new strategy. This will help make #ShiftingTerrain more accessible to people with intellectual and learning disabilities, as well as folks who aren't familiar with movement language. While we know this isn't sufficient to be fully inclusive, we're committed to taking small steps and learning along the way!
