The ACLU is an non-profit, non-partisan organization of people who believe in the power of action. We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.” Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe. Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.

Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media. Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda — every day, in real time. Using the website http://mediamatters.org as the principal vehicle for disseminating research and information, Media Matters posts rapid-response items as well as longer research and analytic reports documenting conservative misinformation throughout the media. Additionally, Media Matters works daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions.

We live in a world with too much news and not enough understanding. Audiences are sending a clear signal: News fatigue and avoidance are up, public trust in the media is down. Vox is the antidote. Audiences trust Vox because we tell them what truly matters and how to think about it. We do the work — sift through information, read the studies, talk to experts, and gather a range of perspectives. We don’t drown you in panic-inducing headlines. We’re not obsessed with being the first to break the news; we’re focused on being helpful to you. We offer clarity, insight, and tools to help you live a better life. And we have fun, too. Our audience is at the heart of everything we do. We’re not focused on serving people in power — we’re focused on serving you, our audience. We want you to walk away from a Vox story and feel like you’ve learned something new, or understand a topic more deeply. Our journalism is written and produced to be accessible to all, whether you’re a subject-matter expert or hearing about something for the very first time. We report urgently and thoroughly on the most important stories shaping our world, but also on issues the rest of the media neglects. We explain some of the biggest challenges humanity faces, but we also offer ideas and solutions to confront them. Vox exists for you. Tell us how we can be useful.
