CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.
CHANGE THE WORLD.
Counterstream Media centers the stories and perspectives the mainstream media often miss.
We are a nonprofit media organization that uses journalism and storytelling to challenge harmful narratives and work towards Environmental Justice. Through our podcasts, publications, and live storytelling events, we amplify frontline voices and influence how culture and policy take shape.
Counterstream Media was previously known as People over Plastic.
-

People over Plastic

Story Salons
Our live storytelling events are not your typical panels—but acts of memory, strategy, and future-making, hosted in a space of cultural significance.
At Counterstream, covering the intersections of race, Environmental Justice, and the climate crisis are the norm, not the exception.
Every contribution, however big or small, powers media for Environmental Justice.

Thank you so much for just being real, covering the real stories on the ground. You know, the real frontline people, telling our real stories.
