Mission & Vision

We are a diverse coalition of public media workers, led by people of color.
We are raising awareness of the negative effects of a lack of diversity, equity and inclusion in public media, and sharing solutions for individuals and organizations.
Diversity, equity and inclusion at every level and in every facet of public media is essential for ensuring meaningful service to all.

We envision a public media community that:

  • Measures and reports diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) improvements on a quarterly basis

  • Uses DEI principles to plan and convene national meetings and professional conferences that reflect the diversity of the country

  • Produces and broadcasts content that reflects the varied interests of diverse communities

  • Equitably hires, compensates, promotes, mentors and sponsors people of color at all levels of the organization

  • Regularly seeks input from community to inform news coverage, guide programming decisions, and set direction for outreach activities

  • Maintains a Board of Directors that is representative of the diverse demographics of the community

  • Promotes safe spaces within stations and organizations where people of color can report DEI offenses without fear of retaliation, demotion or job loss

We welcome involvement by all parties and organizations dedicated to DEI efforts. We will, to the best of our ability, hold participating organizations accountable for these commitments, but due to the volunteer nature of this organization we cannot fully vet every participating organization.
