Description


Monday, September 16, noon
Virtual Event
Program is free and open to the public.
Let us know you’re coming here.

Milo Vassallo, executive director of the Media and Democracy Project (MAD) will join us to discuss concrete actions such as advocacy for and support of local journalism, demanding better pro-democracy media coverage, and efforts to hold media accountable for 2020 election lies. 

MAD is a non-partisan, all-volunteer, 501(c)(4), grassroots civic membership organization formed in 2020. MAD is fighting for a more informative and pro-democracy media, operating in the public interest. MAD is alarmed by the power that media narratives wield over our society and electoral outcomes.

MAD advocates and empowers people to activate civically:

  • to support local and non-profit journalism
  • to advance media literacy and engage in media criticism
  • to advocate for legislative and regulatory solutions to support better media
