Biography

Steven Renderos (he/him) leads MediaJustice, a U.S. based national organization that fights for racial justice in media and technology. As Executive Director, he's reshaped how the organization challenges corporate power in the digital age.

Over his decade at MediaJustice, Steven has led campaigns that broke up price-gouging prison phone monopolies, protected net neutrality, fought surveillance expansion, and tackled online disinformation. His analysis on tech, media, and racial justice appears in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and The Guardian. He chairs the board of Americans for Financial Reform and serves on the boards of Media Democracy Fund and Upturn.

Growing up in LA, Steven witnessed how mainstream media's portrayal of immigrants as criminals shaped anti-immigrant policies of the 90s. That experience drove him to build power so communities can control their own stories.
