This is what Im talking about! A solutions-oriented news site that lets you take ACTION on every story. GCs new friend. Thanks Katie. RYOT is not an acronym, but rather a philosophy: In the Hindi language the word Ryot means peasant”: an untouchable, a person without a voice. The name also stems from the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, A riot is the language of the unheard.” Our philosophy is that anyone can make an impact no matter who they are, and also that the nature of the term riot” is evolving. The way we see it, RYOT has a productive, rather than destructive energy in the modern era, and is the result of organized effort rather than chaos. Our goal is to embody this philosophy by giving our readers a way to not feel helpless, to take action and have an impact on what they read in the news.
