The Chicago Video Project (CVP) brings the power of professional video production to advocacy groups, community development organizations, labor unions, foundations, and others across the country working to promote social and economic justice.

Social Change and Video
Sophisticated communications technology has an enormous influence in today’s policy-making arena. Without access to state-of-the-art communications resources, advocacy and social-change groups cannot fully participate in forums where public opinion and public policy are made. Video technology is a potent tool for redressing this imbalance. It brings low- and moderate-income people into the debate, helping them tell their stories in a way that is more compelling than the written word or live presentation. By leveling the techno-political communications playing field, video gives voice to the concerns of ordinary people and strengthens the foundation of our democracy.
