Westford Community Access Television has a mission and vision based firmly in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The fundamental concept of public access and community media is to empower our community voices giving them the power of media to tell their story their way. Our guiding principles are to promote free speech and expand civic engagement through local media.

We at Westford Community Access Television are here to ensure that all members of our community have the resources, ability and support to express themselves, create a community dialogue and engage in civic life through local media. All members of our community regardless of know-how, income, race, color, creed, gender or sexual orientation, are granted the same opportunities to create a message and have it distributed through our multi-media outlets. Public access and community media are here to empower our community voices with the power of media to share their story.

Black lives matter, and our fight against injustice includes standing together against racism, bigotry, xenophobia, police brutality, and systemic oppression in our communities. We stand in solidarity with the many people and organizations that condemn structural, implicit and explicit racism that leads to the denial of human and constitutional rights.

Let us work together at this juncture to move to a more understanding, compassionate, and welcoming community that supports access, equity, and accountability. We ask you to join the conversation that helps our community to be free from prejudice, malice, and hate. Contact the station to schedule a studio tour to learn more. Together we can make this happen.
