Description: Silicon Valley De-Bug is a multi-media platform for covering San Jose and the South Bay communities such as youth, immigrants, low-wage workers, the formerly incarcerated, and other unheard voices. De-Bug is also a collective of artists, photographers, and the next generation of journalists.
Personal stories on cultural, political, and social issues from local and national movement-makers.
As incarceration rates balloon to astronomical levels – 1 out of 100 Americans are currently locked up — participatory defense may be the most accessible way directly affected communities can challenge mass incarceration and have the movement building be dynamic of seeing timely and locally relevant results of their efforts.
In the various spaces our De-Bug community operates in, we see exciting and urgently needed campaigns that emerged in criminal justice reform, economic justice, housing, and immigrant rights for San José in 2016.
