The root system of a tree is five times more extensive than the tree itself, and reaches far underground to form a solid base for growth and nourishment. Just as this root system is integral to the survival of the tree, media is integral to the foundation and survival of a democracy.

In order for people to build up their communities, they need to be well informed on the issues that impact their lives. Far-reaching grassroots networks of information and activism created by us must extend far beyond the institutional structures created for us.

Media Roots serves as a project to help reclaim the media and put it back into the hands of the people by conducting citizen journalism and relaying factual, impactful news. This organization also seeks to provide a forum connecting conscious citizens, artists and activists to help build upon the emerging worldwide renaissance of independent media.
