UN rights council agrees to urgent debate on racism, police violence 2

The UN Human Rights Council started a debate today on "systemic racism" in the United States, at the urging of all 54 African nations and the family of George Floyd. This isn't the first time the UN has taken up U.S. racism — and it's not the first time the U.S. government has denied its inquiries.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.

We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.

People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.

We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
