March 6, 2016
Main Branch of the Vancouver Public Library
We’re teaming up with the folks at OpenMedia to host a special night with leaders in media reform, Robert McChesney and John Nichols, to help fight for the open internet and democratic media.
The Internet is a revolutionary tool that will shape the type of society we aspire to, but is the digital revolution headed in the right direction? We need to put the our communications systems back into the centre as a tool that connects people to decision-making, and our special guests have suggestions to accomplish this.
Join us for a conversation on how best to steer the open web in the right direction, as McChesney and Nichols present their new book People Get Ready: The Fight Against a Jobless Economy and a Citizenless Democracy.
Robert McChesney and John Nichols are the co-founders of Free Press, a national media-reform organization, and have written extensively on the impact of corporate ownership on our media system. Their new book is a call to action to fight for Net Neutrality and against a ‘“citizen-less” future for our democracy. On March 6th, we’ll hear an introduction to some of the ideas in their book and we ask that you join us, to help wage the war against corporate interests and restrictive governments.
Tickets are available at https://openmedia.org/en/event $10 general, and $5 for students and seniors. Be sure to check out our Facebook event page and share with your friends!
We hope to see you there,
Sydney on behalf of The Media Democracy Project
