Treboros Live hasn't added a story.
I am a human rights activist and Live Streamer and have decided to pursue activism in a full time fashion. I was self-employed for nearly 15 years and recently lost my 3 largest accounts due to corporate restructuring and downsizing - hence most of my income, so it seems the time is right to make this move.
Even though I started this campaign before the incident in #Ferguson, never has it been so clear to me that citizen journalism is imperative, and the ability to mobilze and train new citizen journalists is essential in order to stay in front of the spin of main stream media, as well as keeping protestors safe. My plan is to be able to travel on a moments notice wherever these incidents occur.
Short Term Goals:
-
Purchase a Late ’90’s or Early 2000’s 34’ RV with a Generator;
I will remove the rear bedroom and turn it into a broadcasting area; I already have the necessary equipment for this aspect, I have a 32 channel digital recording studio with several microphones & all necessary cables, 3 computers and all the necessary software. I also have the necessary camera gear and 2 hotspots with 2 different carriers. I will also be looking at outfitting the RV with Solar Panels and various other green energy technologies.
Long Term Goals:
-
Mobilize, Live Stream and Broadcast;
I would like to be able to respond quickly and travel to wherever necessary. -
Network with other Citizen Journalists
An important aspect of this will rely on forming media groups to act as a collective. Writers, bloggers, tweeters and chatters are all integral parts of citizen journalism and they all play equal parts in getting a message heard in a timeley manner. -
Provide Training for Future Citizen Journalists;
I would like the opportunity to train new citizen journalists by helping them create channels, twitter accounts, blogspots and educating them on minimal equipment requirements, teach them best methods and practices and the importance of social media as well as applicable laws regarding citizen journalism.
-
Provide Mutual Aid;
The ability to travel also serves to be able to gather food, water, medical supplies and whatever else may need to be transported, and get them to those in need.
I am not expecting to raise 100% of this money through donations; I am selling most of my printing equipment and all household items, a combined estimated value of about 17-20k, however it's going very slow and everything I sell right now is going back into keeping a roof over my head and the power on; however should I manage to actually raise the full 20k before selling everything I own, I can then donate whatever I have to families in need, local charities and schools.
MORE about me:
I am a print tech guru and graphic designer that largely focused
on POP in-store displays and product packaging. I was self-employed
for almost 15 years, and over the course of the last 2 years, I lost 3
major corporate accounts that were my bread and butter for most of the
time I have been in business. I lost these accounts due to corporate
restructuring, budget cuts and downsizing.
I have been in printing and graphic design most of my life, I
was hired out of Arizona in 1997 to work for a company in the San
Francisco East Bay because of my expertise in the development of
burgeoning digital print technologies. Even though the company that
hired me had thrived for over 25 yrs, the dot com crash claimed the
company as one of the many casualties in and around Silicon Valley. At
that time, my domestic partner and I had decided to move back to AZ
when he was diagnosed with lymphoma (which he miraculously survived),
we had a great healthcare package in California so decided it would be
best for his health if we stayed. Since there were no jobs at the
time, I was able to secure some digital print equipment and manage
some clients from my previous employer. Being an anti-capitalist this
was not a decision that came easy, but the best plan to save his life.
Since I am not the best entrepreneur (which I am kind of proud of LOL)
things were up and down for quite some time, he left me in 2007 and I
have been trying to get out of California ever since. California
generally does one of two things to people - it either kicks you out
penniless inside of 3 months, or strangles you to the point in which
you can not afford to leave.
Thanks for reading this!
