since becoming Activate Media we have been busy building
infrastructure and perfecting our craft. We have had support from
within as well as from the community in many ways. We appreciate
the help that we get from people so much. If it weren’t for that
help Activate Media wouldn’t be here today.</p>

in many ways, from programming to adding Activate Magazine and
Activate Calendar. Being an election year, we are sure you see the
need for better media and journalism that has ethics. The world
needs more media that is focused on the diversity amongst us and
cognizant of real challenges that face our society.</p>

meet these challenges and provide the public with tools and
information to build a better world. Our next steps are to be able
to get a new studio so that we are able to more easily produce
shows locally here in Boston, but also to be able to add a couple
of interns, some basic equipment for new shows and increase our
web presence. Our intention is to become a funded non-profit that
will be a champion for the people as well as helping elevate
organizations that are doing grass-roots work in social justice.</p>
