Hi, I'm Alex Mell-Taylor, and today
we are going to be talking about this
channels new direction. The election was a
wake-up call for me and everyone else
associated with Con Spot. We decided
that going forward it was no longer okay
to merely rant about stuff on the
internet. The information we gave was
useless if we did not provide pathways to
action for our audience. We are a news
platforms that advocates for change, not
just ideas. How we're going to achieve this?
Well you may have already noticed some
of the changes yourself. For the longest
time, Con Spot was merely about promoting
my perspective. That is no longer okay. Going
forward, Con Spot will be about
uplifting other people's voices as well.
That means promoting your political vlogs
and posts. We've launched a new website
called www.conspot.news. Linked in the
description. On it you'll find
everything from what we'll be looking
for in a standard submission to our new
mission statement. You will also find our
new advocacy work. Not sure where to
start with your anti-trump efforts? We
have a directory for that. Confused over
what new laws and executive orders or
being signed. We cover that too. We are
politically active. From presenting your
letters to your Congress people to
live streaming protests at our nation's
Capital to crowdsourcing a new
Declaration of Independence, we want to
be your launchpad for political
activism. In order to do all of this, the
original con spot show is now one among many. It
will be airing once a month in a longer,
more in-depth, format that focuses on
pertinent topics that impact you and
what you can do about them. Eventually,
the topic itself will be decided by you. The first episode will be about health
care. This new direction starts with you.
Not only with your viewership, buy your
vlogs, articles, opinions, likes, shares,
tweets, subscribership, criticism, and yes
donations.
In our new political reality, we cannot
be watchers, viewers, and consumers. We
must act and support each other in that
action in order to be the change that we
want to see. It's my hope that this not
only be a new beginning for Con Spot,
but for all of us. That's all for now.
So what do you think? Do you like this
new direction. Ask not how you can contribute
to Con Spot, but how Con Spot can help you.
