PEOPLE’S TRIBUNE MISSION

The People’s Tribune is an independent media platform that informs, educates, and works hand in hand with movements for a society that is truly of, by and for the people, where everyone is cared for. We dedicate our platform to those voices for change that are not being heard in mainstream media. This paper strives to be a voice of millions of everyday people who are standing up to challenge a system that breeds poverty, injustice and war, and threatens Mother Earth. All people’s needs can be met by building a society where the abundance that exists today is available to all.

We welcome articles and artwork from those that are engaged in the struggle to build a new society. We rely on our readers and contributors to fund and distribute this paper.
