Steven Renderos is Executive Director of MediaJustice, a national organization that advances media and technology rights of people of color. Steven led campaigns that lowered cost of prison phone calls; secured net neutrality rules; and got Donald Trump kicked off of Twitter. A native of Los Angeles, Steven grew up in an immigrant household at the height of anti-immigrant fervor in California. The propaganda campaign that fueled the passage of Proposition 187 in the mid-90s motivated Steven to seek out a career to challenge media bias and democratize communications for people of color.
Steven has appeared as commentator in publications like the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and The Guardian. He hosts the Bring Receipts podcast alongside Brandi Collins-Dexter and produced Revolutionary Spirits, a 4-part history podcast on the life and martyrdom of Mexican leader Francisco Madero.
