About Us
Who We Are
Our Revolution Media is an independent publication launched in 2025 as part of the Our Revolution Network. We are not a nonprofit, not a think tank, and not a corporate media outlet. We are a small, intentional project run by people who believe that working-class perspectives deserve rigorous, well-researched coverage, not just a token column buried at the back of the section.
We cover three interconnected territories: the national and global structures of power that define economic and political life, the local communities from LA to Pomona, and Southern California where those structures play out in real lives, and the longer arc of history that explains how we got here. None of those exist in isolation. Neither does our work.
Our Revolution Clothing Co. is a sister project. It operates on the same values, circular design, worker solidarity, and community accountability, but in the form of what you wear, not what you read. Where relevant, we note that connection openly.
Our Editorial Standards
Independence. Our Revolution Media is editorially independent. No advertiser, sponsor, donor, or affiliated organization, including Our Revolution Clothing Co., has any influence over what we cover, how we frame it, or what we publish. If that ever changes in any meaningful way, we will tell you.
Perspective, Openly Held. We do not pretend to have no point of view. We are a publication grounded in working-class and community perspectives, systems thinking, and a belief that power rarely explains itself honestly. That lens shapes what we choose to cover and how we frame it. We state this openly because we think pretending otherwise is its own form of dishonesty. What we commit to is accuracy, fairness to the people and facts we cover, and transparency about where our analysis begins and ends.
Sourcing. We cite our sources. When a claim is contested, we say so. When we rely on a single source for a significant assertion, we flag that limitation rather than paper over it. We name sources whenever possible, and when we do not, we explain why. We do not quote people in ways that misrepresent their meaning, and we do not use anonymous sources to settle scores or advance narratives we cannot otherwise support.
Conflicts of Interest. We disclose relationships that could create real or perceived conflicts, including our affiliation with Our Revolution Clothing Co. and any paid partnerships or sponsorships. We do not accept money in exchange for coverage. If we receive a product, service, or access for the purpose of reviewing or covering it, we say so in the piece. We do not accept speaking fees from organizations we actively cover.
Community Coverage. When we write about communities, we write with them. We prioritize voices from within the communities we cover over outside commentary about those communities. We are aware that journalists, including independent ones, carry assumptions shaped by class, geography, and culture, and we work actively to check those assumptions rather than publish them uncritically.
Corrections. When we get something wrong, we correct it publicly and leave a visible note in the original piece so readers who found it before the correction can see what changed and why. We do not silently edit errors. If you believe we have made a factual mistake, reach out at press@ourrevolution.media. We take corrections seriously, regardless of who they come from.
What We Will and Won't Do
We will not: Accept advertiser influence over editorial decisions. Publish sponsored content without clear disclosure. Use anonymous sources to disparage individuals without supporting evidence. Cover a story and then sell consulting services related to it. Treat access to powerful people as more valuable than accountability to our readers.
We will: Correct our mistakes visibly and without excuses. Disclose all material relationships and affiliations. Source from within communities, not just about them. Tell you when a claim rests on limited evidence. Update this page whenever our standards change.
Our Revolution Media is independent because it has to be. The stories that matter most to working people rarely get told by institutions with financial relationships to the systems those stories would expose. We are not perfect, but we are accountable, and we are yours.
