It brings stories of progressive grassroots organizing, going on in backyards everywhere, to a national television audience. Each program covers actions taken in local communities, by ordinary people, to address critical issues like the war, air and water pollution, reproductive rights, homelessness, for-profit prisons, sweatshops, racism, police brutality, indigenous struggles, and more. The Seattle PepperSpray Collective contributes segments to the "NewsReal" Project. In addition, we do the dubbing/mailing of the finished "

NewsReal" for community screeners each month, and we also build the program's outreach by featuring the monthly "NewsReal" on "Indymedia Presents."This video was originally shared on blip.tv by Pepperspray Productions with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license.
