The mission of Means TV, as written in our bylaws, is to: 

- Create a long-standing, centralized, worker-owned media infrastructure that reflects and empowers the working class 

- Create and distribute worker-owned, anti-capitalist entertainment free from advertisers and extractive financing

- Practice economic, cultural, racial, religious, and gender inclusivity in the operations of the Cooperative and the admission of employee-owners to the Cooperative
