| Friend,
HAPPENING NOW: In our second State of the Media town hall, Free Press’ Alicia Bell is talking with journalists, advocates and policy experts about how to challenge and change a media that normalizes White supremacy in the Trump era.
Tune in to watch “Who Does the News Believe? A Conversation About Race, Power, the Media and White Supremacy.” You’ll hear from Santa Fe Reporter Staff Writer Aaron Cantú, FAIR Program Director and Counterspin Host Janine Jackson, Define American Communications Director Kristian Ramos, Free Press’ News Voices Director Mike Rispoli and independent writer, editor and multimedia journalist Lewis Wallace. We need a free press. We also need a press that doesn’t replicate the racist and xenophobic stereotypes about communities of color and immigrants that make up the Trump administration’s talking points. We need journalism that calls racism what it is, disavows White nationalism and empowers the voices of journalists and editors of color as well as the communities being reported on.
Tune in to find out how we get there.
Thanks for all that you do—
Lucia, Alicia, Collette and the rest of the Free Press team

P.S. Tune in right now for our State of the Media town hall, a conversation about race, power, the media and White supremacy. |
