uSpark Valley is an independent, fact-based media project covering Central Valley politics for Millennial and Gen Z residents. Using video segments and social media, we aim to give you the facts and context you need to take action. uSpark covers stories with a focus on how young people can — and do — transform the places we care about.
We do have values as an organization that inform our reporting, including:
- We deserve to live in healthy and safe neighborhoods.
- We deserve a voice in decisions that affect us.
- People of color and other marginalized groups deserve fair and accurate representation.
- Young people’s voices should be represented.
- Inform the public about avenues for civic engagement and community representation.
- Fact check the independent reporting we share.
- Cover topics, elections and politicians critically.
