Mission

To empower immigrants through reliable news, media literacy, and storytelling — so they can navigate their communities, share their experiences, and contribute to public understanding.

Community impact

From understanding the news, to shaping it.

Step 01

Understanding through News Literacy Workshops

Problem

In an era of misinformation and information overload, many immigrants face additional barriers — language differences, unfamiliar media environments, and limited access to trusted sources.

Solution

  • Evaluate the credibility of news sources
  • Identify misinformation and biased reporting
  • Understand complex current events
  • Navigate the modern media landscape with confidence

Stronger news literacy means informed decisions about communities, education, careers, and civic engagement.

Step 02

Contributing through Civic Engagement

Problem

A gap exists between access to information and meaningful engagement — a space where immigrants can speak about their own perspectives on public issues.

Solution

  • Small-group forums in libraries, schools, and community spaces
  • Conversations centered on real news stories and current events
  • Confidence to advocate individually and collectively
  • Bridges to local newsrooms and student journalists

Rather than simply consuming news, participants engage critically with it and connect it to their own lives.

In practice

Small rooms, real conversations, lasting change.
