We all possessed resources, tools, and skills to bring our organizations together, create, produce, and distribute media, and cut out and ignore the corporate media entirely, which should be the goal of all people in America. If we can reach a point where we don't need corporate media to be informed, that will make us autonomous in a way we will value dearly especially when elections are held.  

The people there had character, devotion, passion, and I had no problem saying yes to them when they asked me to get on their listserv and become connected with all these great people.

Join groups if you can. Network with people. It’s so empowering and in a time like this when the elections are constricting the activist movements in America, only connections between people can keep us from being distracted by this election sideshow.

Below is a list of places to get REAL information and not CORPORATIZED information like the kind the corporate media sells to its viewers on CNN, NBC, ABC, and FOX. While some of it may only pertain to Chicago, it still might be great to view or read if you are looking for ideas for actions, articles, books, video productions, or research projects. Or, if you are just looking to get more informed, perhaps some of the information on these sites has not made it to where you live and you will like seeing it. Enjoy.
