MediaJustice is an American national non-profit organization based in Oakland, California, established in 2008.
[2] The organization's mission is "to build a powerful movement for a more just and participatory media and digital world—with racial equity and human rights for all".
[3] In 2002, leaders from We Interrupt This Message and Race Forward (formerly the Applied Research Center) launched the Youth Media Council (YMC) to counter media bias against California's youth and people of color.
As the project grew, it expanded to address inequities in media access and coverage in diverse communities by collaborating with local social justice groups nationwide.
Launched in 2008, CMJ is now a nationally recognized organizing hub representing the media policy interests and building the cultural leadership of hundreds of social justice groups across the United States.
