every day we use tech platforms to get our news, connect with our friends, shop online and facilitate many aspects of our lives. The problem is that as these platforms collect our money and personal data, they also continue to profit off our most valuable resource. Our attention, the way we as consumers and community members reclaim our attention as power is to give it to stories that are relevant to our own communities. To pivot our focus towards local work and local people, enter hunt a localized storytelling platform and the concept of platform cooperative's based on a vision that merges democratic ownership and governance with cutting edge technologies. The platform cooperative model points the way towards a fair, more equitable sharing of resource is equity and attention with the goal of empowering local communities. Imagine creating an umbrella that can capture much of the energy and attention lost to giant corporations that hold no stake in our communities and instead refocus it locally where it's needed. By providing a platform for local stories. Hudson is aimed at meeting people where they are and towards redirecting the energy that comes through screens back to bringing people together in real time. Imagine witnessing a community members share their story for the first time. Imagine local artists working together to bring these stories to life. Imagine gathering at local theaters to watch these stories as a community. Imagine walking into a laundry and seeing that same story playing on a digital bulletin. What can happen in the form of connection when we get to know each other? Hud. See, we're taking back our stories and our media, one town at a time.
