More About PhillyCAM:
We envision an equitable society in which media reflects and represents our communities, builds community power, and enables all people to have access to media tools to critically analyze media and participate in media creation. PhillyCAM provides access to media-making tools, training, and distribution of non-commercial media. Public access increases and diversifies the voices in the media; it provides all community members and particularly those in underserved or disenfranchised communities with the tools to tell their stories.
Our work is guided by these values:
- All people have a right to equal ACCESS to media tools, knowledge and broadcast platforms.
- COLLABORATION produces compelling results when people build trust and relationships and work toward common goals.
- LITERACY equips people to be in control of their interpretation of media messages and increases their awareness of the potential for media to spark change.
- Informed and intentional REPRESENTATION enables those who currently are underrepresented or misrepresented to see themselves embodied in the media.
- Fighting for SOCIAL JUSTICE means disrupting the dominant structures that limit the range of voices, and dispelling the narratives that perpetuate preconceived notions and misinformation.
