Dear ,
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news that our dear friend, longtime collaborator, and former MediaJustice staff member, Brandi Collins-Dexter, has passed away.
Brandi joined MediaJustice in 2011, working with us for three transformative years in communications and digital organizing. But her connection to our organization ran much deeper than her title. She always called MediaJustice her political home, and we always saw Brandi as one of the most critical leaders in our sector. After leaving to build the groundbreaking Media, Democracy, and Economic Justice Team at Color of Change, Brandi remained family. She mentored our staff, guided fellows in our MediaJustice Network Fellowship program, and produced research to support MJ’s disinformation work. Just months ago, Brandi discussed with our executive director, Steven Renderos, joining the MediaJustice Board. That conversation will forever remain unfinished.

To honor Brandi's memory and continue her work, we encourage you to read "Black Skinhead" and support the ongoing fights for accountability and justice that she helped build.
Rest in power, Brandi. The fight continues.
In collective solidarity,
MediaJustice
