The core purpose of the Economic Media Centre is to build media and messaging capacity of grassroots organisations and advocates with lived expertise of economic inequality to shape national narratives and influence political decision making.

By building the capacity of and opportunities for community spokespeople with lived experience and expertise to engage in media debates, we create the political pressure needed to shift narratives and secure more inclusive policies.

When the voices and visions of these spokespeople are backed by coordinated media and communications work across social movements and civil society, we create narrative shifts.

When narrative shifts are echoed by community organising and social movement demands we create the tipping points needed for lasting cultural shifts, policy wins and we build the track for transformative change.
