Thousands of organizations around the world are working to guarantee the public's ability to participate in media. Charters are being drafted, policy suggestions are being written, software is being coded, technology is being developed, students are being trained and protests are being held, all to promote a more democratic media system that better informs and empowers all members of society. Community and grassroots groups are taking matters into their own hands, creating diverse media that represents marginalized elements of society.

The media democracy movement calls on individuals to educate themselves and others about the media, be discriminating and responsible media consumers, support and participate in noncommercial and community media, and pressure politicians to support public and community media, regulate corporate media, and maintain public access to diverse media content.

The revolution is on its way!
