These cases were presented in a pre-recorded video session that we - Claudia Magallanes Blanco, Vinod Pavarala, Alejandro Barranquero, and I - organised for the Community Communication and Alternative Media (CAM) Section for this year's online IAMCR Conference. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style=""><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false" style="">I suggest that resilience is, of course, a wonderful thing, but, whilst acknowledging and praising resilience, we must also bear in mind that community media practitioners and activists need support (a lot of it, actually). It is not enough to have them speak with their own voices if no one in positions of power is willing to listen (as Tanja Dreher noted in "Politics of Listening").
