What AudioActivism is and does is in flux. One constant is audio. Another is my love of all peoples, democracy, and social justice. Oh yeah and I’m always going to be politically and socially a leftist! I’m just too old to change that now. 
It’s my definition of the term ‘Activism’ that has become more complex. [Here is how wikipedia defines activism.]
My first personal definition of Activism was taught to me by people who worked tirelessly for others benefit. So when I thought of activism I thought of them. They are non-violent protestors, conscientious objectors, marchers, and organizers for beautiful causes. Yet the more I looked and listened the more I realize that everyone can be an activist.
We can all engage ourselves in a cause. Our causes are more diverse than there are people in the world. If we see something we find unjust we can act to change it. I find the state of our media in the world to be highly unjust. AudioActivism.org is my way of changing this.
So I hope when you listen to my podcasts and read my blog entries you think about how I’m framing them with in the term, activism. Right now, January 19, 2005, I’m fascinated with Grassroots Journalism (a.k.a. Citizen Journalism, Distributed Journalism, etc.) and how we can act to become the media and present other things to think about. There are few more powerful non-violent methods of social change than sharing ideas with people. That’s what activist journalism is you know… sharing ideas.
