The Mobilized News Manifesto
A public-interest media commons for collective intelligence and coordinated action.
The Problem We’re Solving
We are living in the age of cascading crises — climate breakdown, civic distrust, extractive economies, and digital systems built for profit, not people.
Yet the biggest crisis of all is the one we don’t talk about:
We don’t suffer from a lack of solutions — we suffer from a lack of alignment, communication, and access.
The media that should connect us instead divides us. The platforms that should empower us instead extract our data and attention. And the institutions that should guide us are trapped in outdated systems.
Our Radical Reframe
The future is not a single conference, a one-off campaign, or a viral video.
The future is a permanent, participatory platform where solutions don’t expire — they evolve.
Mobilized News exists to build that platform:
“The world’s first interdependent media network — a commons for regenerative ideas, intelligence, and action.”
What We’re Building
Mobilized News is an always-on media ecosystem — a movement of stories, systems, and shared power.
Each component is a piece of the whole:
- Solutions Newswire – A real-time, decentralized feed of what’s working (local to global).
- Media Marketplace – License, showcase, and co-create regenerative media projects.
- Flip the Script – Shortform, action-oriented video stories for “Generation Now.”
- Producers’ Hub – A place where communities pitch ideas and creators bid to produce them.
- Solutions Showcase & Labs – A year-round public stage for knowledge exchange and invention.
- Federated Network – Powered by open infrastructure like ActivityPub (so nobody owns the audience).
- Mobilized Exchanges – Monthly live dialogues with doers, makers, and system-shifters.
Our North Star
Replace extraction with collaboration.
Replace disinformation with intelligence.
Replace isolation with interdependence.
We don’t rent the stage — we build the studio, and invite everyone in.
How We Do It
We are guided by:
- Community Ownership — Creators and local media hubs keep their rights and revenue.
- Public-Interest Data — No ads. No surveillance. No algorithmic exploitation.
- Open Standards — ActivityPub, open APIs, and human-centered design.
- Holistic Design — Systems thinking in everything from food to finance to democracy.
What Makes Us Different
Mobilized News is not a network of brands.
It’s a network of networks — a living web of people and platforms aligned around truth, care, and systems solutions.
From Barcelona’s DECODE to Kenya’s AI agriculture tools, from Canada’s patient-owned AI to Hugging Face’s open models — we amplify what works and connect the dots.
