JAM Exists to Empower the People
We are committed to promote free speech, civic engagement, artistic expression, and public dialog by enabling easy access to the expanding and ever-changing media world. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on filmmaking and audio equipment —there’s video equipment and a community here to support your work. Content you create can go on JAM’s cables and stream at uvjam.org. JAM shares locally created content regionally via NH & VT media exchanges and globally via YouTube.
