I'm pleased to announce that the working title of the radical media network I've been working on helping to create is The Intersection! It is inspired by the French #ReseauMutu but can be based on a framework similar to that of #Beehaw. There's an in-depth explanation on how this was arrived at, on my site, here: https://www.mediaactivist.com/manifesto/ If you're interested in getting involved, let me know -- and in the spirit of intersectionality, if you'd like to contribute your own photo of your hand raising a phone, these could be used in similar posters, hopefully reflecting a diverse range of people! Thanks and solidarity!

I'm still rebuilding my website but one thing I just realised I ought to mention more is this little* media activist manifesto, between two and twenty years in the making, depending on how you think of it -- *big, so TL;DR: we can learn from the failures of state, corporate, cooperative, and Indy media, still embrace "citizen journalism" and have our very own media networks to connect and communicate within our communities for radical change, taking inspiration from #ReseauMutu and also the #Fediverse itself to build our own one-stop site for resources, news, events, and mutual aid in each of our localities, block by block, site by site: https://www.mediaactivist.com/manifesto/ #media #MediaStudies #Indymedia #RadicalMedia #CitizenJournalism #GuerrillaJournalism #Beehaw #Lemmy #Kbin

If it seems like I'm currently talking a lot about "the Media Activist Manifesto," it's because I worked on it all year, and researched the subject for twenty years. I've arrived at the conclusion that, in the spirit of #ReseauMutu, or Mutu Network, the #Fediverse can hold a key to societal change through radical news, based on a framework similar to #Lemmy, #Kbin, and in particular #Beehaw. Imagine an online space to visit for anticapitalist and antifascist information and info relevant to whichever locality you're in. Those interested in helping develop this, please let me know! https://www.mediaactivist.com/manifesto/

TLDR: We're indeed in the "Roaring Twenties" and history tells us that brings a very real threat emerging on the horizon. But there are ways we can work together, collectively, to raise awareness of the actual problems, and the little-known tangible solutions. Information as mutual aid. How about we create something similar to the French #ReseauMutu but by using the #Fediverse, maybe something based on #Beehaw's format? Sections for each city, sharing ideas and information. If you're interested, let me know!

It's up! My piece for Freedom News -- on information as mutual aid, with potential for a network of interconnected sites across the UK based on the French-language Mutu model:
