Are you a journalist, media maker or community member looking for ways to better serve your neighbors’ news and information needs? Free Press’ News Voices team is working with people just like you around the country, and we want to share what we’ve found.

Join the News Voices team for a live roundtable on Aug. 15 at 12 p.m. EDT to discuss the intersection of journalism and community organizing.

Here are the details:

What: News Voices Live Roundtable: Don’t Just Engage. Organize!
When: Wed., Aug. 15, at 12 p.m. EDT
