MovementCentral: Take Action: Stop Big Media

Movement Central

The driving idea behind MovementCentral is to move grassroots news, voices and action to the center of progressive policy and pubic debate. We hope it looks and feels like a national newspaper, with traditional news beats...and some new beats we believe expand the frames of corporate media. Original content will be short editorial style posts, offering readers links to take action. Scroll down to the bottom of the site to see our content providers.

In the center column of the site you'll find a list of links to take action on social justice values and issues. This site is part of a movement for racial and gender equity, social, environmental and economic justice, and our democratic and human right to the city.

Take Action: Stop Big Media

The FCC approved new rules that will unleash a flood of media consolidation across America. The new rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism.

Congress has the power to throw out these rules -- and if hundreds of thousands of people demand it, they'll have to listen. Sign the open letter to Congress urging them to stop the FCC and stand with the public interest.
