Human-Centered Justice Narratives
Each week, we retell one injustice story through lived experience rather than authority or abstraction. We center the words, testimonies, and expressions of the people affected — transforming headlines into human-centered narratives that are memorable, impactful, and urgent.
News articles often report on injustices through statistics, official statements, and institutional framing. The human experience — the suffering, resilience, and perspective of those directly impacted — is usually buried deep in the story or overshadowed by political language.
As a result, readers skim the headline, register the numbers, and move on without feeling a real connection to the people living the injustice.
Voices From the Ground takes one injustice story each week and retells it through lived experience rather than authority or abstraction.
Instead of beginning with what governments, agencies, or police said, we center the words, testimonies, and expressions of the people affected. The larger context and systemic forces are then layered around those voices.
Each week, our editorial team carefully selects one significant injustice story that has impacted real people and communities.
We gather testimonies, quotations, chants, community statements, and direct expressions from those affected — not officials.
The story flows from human reality outward, with systemic context layered around lived experiences rather than the reverse.
Our first Ground Story is being researched and crafted with care. We're committed to centering the voices of those directly affected and transforming how injustice stories are told.
