People's Free News
      Through this print publication with a bi-monthly circulation of 2000 we emphasize voices that are marginalized in mainstream media. Past issues have included articles featuring or submitted by Maine activist groups such as P.O.W.E.R (Portland Organizing to Win Economic Rights), Nulankeyutomonen Nkihtakomikumon (“We take Care of Our Land,” a Passamaquoddy group), MNPP (Maine Native Prison Project), and Centro Latino, to name a few.

     Other articles, such as ones on the crisis in Darfur, present an alternative perspective to what is seen in mainstream news.

     Many of our issues had covered articles translated in Spanish.  I wrote articles had interviews with amazing people and laid many of the pages of this newspaper out.

     Currently this project is expanding to an on-line blogging system that will include video and audio. By taking the initiative to film, document, and record the world we live in, we hope to take back the media from the corporations and put it in the hands of the people.
