The Revolution is Rising

The time has come to wake up from the captured media systems.

The most important stories of our times are missing in today's headlines and without an informed public we cannot act in our own best interest.

Big Media has betrayed us - on a scale that is unimaginable.

• The real story is not red vs. blue, it's the ruling class vs. the 95%. While we've been fighting each other the ultra wealthy have been buying up everything and throwing hundreds of millions into poverty.
• Climate change should be front news every day! It's here now - it's part of what's driving immigration to the US and urgent action needs to be taken both on the resilience/human care and mitigation fronts
• Social media addicts, distracts and divides us at a time when we most need to unite.

Honest news and media is essential for democracy and we are watching it get captured in real time.

Why We Need a Media Revolution

Honest news and media is essential for democracy and we are watching it get captured in real time.

This is why The Media Revolution was formed. Located in the UK, they:

• Call out media systems captured by corporations and billionaires
• Educate on how to discern independent news from corporate media
• Guide the public towards outlets that are truly serving the people.

and today they're launching: Media Liberation Day. 

A mass awareness campaign + day of action:

• Bold #coverpage fliers in news stands
  
• IRL education sessions
• Protests dancing and more
  

Check out their celebration video!

They've even delivered a public message to Google HQ, putting them on notice as the Touch Paper media union prepares to hold captured media systems accountable for abandoning their job to inform the public. 

It's growing fast, rooted in the UK, but expanding globally.

This Moment is Symbolic

Let's harness the wave's momentum of the Mamdani and social justice wins, and the symbolism of tonight's full moon.

In my small US town, I've been distributing fliers about deleting the Oligarchy in newspapers, shopping carts and face to face.

HOW CAN YOU CELEBRATE AND JOIN IN TODAY?
Even if this is your first time hearing about it — you can still take part. This is just the beginning. More fliers and actions to come.

Post on BlueSky, Mastadon (and other independent platform) any steps you've taken to leave Big Tech & Big Media. E.g.

• "This year I canceled Amazon in solidarity with Media Liberation"
• "Today I deleted Facebook off my phone - taking a 60 day hiatus"
• "I've started the de-googling journey"
  

Platforms to Consider Leaving:

• Social Media/Big Tech: Meta (Instagram, Facebook, Threads), X, TikTok, Google
  
• Big Media Subscriptions: Amazon, Apple TV/News/Music, Spotify, YouTube, WSJ, The New York Times, Washington Post, Disney, Paramount, CBS.

Make sure to add the hashtags:

• #MediaLiberationDay
• #MediaRevolution
• #DeletetheOligarchy
