Media Democracy Day

The event Trumping Right-wing Populisms with Barbara Perry is cancelled. Not to worry, we are working to reschedule this event in the fall.

Competing Visions of Climate Populism starts in 15min! Thank you for all your support. We’re looking forward to a lively and insightful dialogue. #MDDyvr #MDD2019 #ConfrontingDisinformation

#OurDataBodies love the idea of “look up” tours for communities and neighborhoods to understand the presence of the surveillance state in their immediate surroundings. #PowerNotParanoia

Does climate populism enable new forms of climate denial? Or does it open up new possibilities for mobilization and engagement? Join @sgunster17 @paulsaurette & Bob Neubauer during Competing Visions of Climate Populism. Register: at.sfu.ca/QmqoFj @SFUPublicSquare

Hello everyone! We're glad to announce that MDD is back for its 18th year. Our theme is "Counter Populisms!" in response to the rising tide of authoritarian, right-wing populisms that aim to limit democratic action and threaten social change. Stay tuned!✊ @SFUPublicSquare @VPL

Let's take a closer look at BC's child benefit: we're the only province that stops support at age 6 giving a pitiful investment of only $3960 over a child's lifetime compared to over $43,000 in Quebec. Imagine what a difference that could make here in BC! @FirstCallBC #still1in5

Belated thanks to @MediaDemocDay for a great panel and session this weekend. So happy to be able to participate! twitter.com/MediaDemocDay/…

@IMmsGNU @VPL @amble_greene @GaryLachance We were so happy to have you all!

I feel hopeful when I talk about Indigenous stories in media, but more hopeful when my son gets up and says who he is, where he is from, and sings a traditional Gitxsan song. ❤️🙌🏾#MDDyvr

Big thank you to @MediaDemocDay for having @PetraKlupkova and I. Had a lot of fun talking about digital advocacy tools.

I had such a great time at media democracy day. Thanks for including my video! So many encouraging approaches in solutions based media out there, I’m very energized :-) @MediaDemocDay @ricochet_en @discoursemedia @MegaphoneMag @Unifor2000 #MDDyvr #cdnmedia
