Our Mission
Our
mission is to resist -- to resist power and abuses of power. The first
step in resisting power and its abuses is to deal in and with facts.
This program is to give voice to the silenced and reveal the hidden.
Topics will always focus on human and civil rights. We seek to protect
the women's rights, LTBTQ rights, those of the disabled and the
immigrant. We seek to expose racism, defeat bigotry, and eliminate hate.
We
seek partners, throughout the region, to fulfill this mission. Your
struggle is our struggle. Your pain is our pain. Let this program also
be your voice, whether you need a place to cry or simply cry out.
Together, we can accomplish great things.
