Each year the Hollywood Diversity report tracks the progress made by the film and television industry on race and gender representations in front of and behind the camera. The latest report on film is just out and in a landscape where streaming services are leading traditional theatrical releases, we see significant gains in on-screen representation. However, there is less progress on the demographics of directors and writers.

Rising Up with Sonali is a radio and television show that brings progressive news coverage rooted in gender and racial justice to a wide audience. Rising Up With Sonali was built on the foundation of Sonali Kolhatkar's earlier show, Uprising, which became the longest-running drive-time radio show on KPFK in Los Angeles hosted by a woman. RUS airs on Free Speech TV every weekday.
