We at the Media Co-op aim to work within broader independent media outlets and 'citizen journalists' in Canada to search and promote those instances of cultural and psychological revelation amongst individual communities that have been subject to isolation due to the political environment today that so often restricts freedom of movement and information...

Please join us for this special event and support us by donating/subscribing/sustaining/writing/sharing as we aim to heighten the urgency for personal responsibility and ethical discernment in the role of the media in reconstructing social change through its’ cultural representation and analysis of events and individuals.
