Brian Dominick is an organizer and journalist who did most of his activist work based in Syracuse, NY, where he was born in 1973. Brian now lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Brian was a co-founder with Jessica Azulay of The NewStandard, a hard-news publication that operated from 2004-2007. He and Jessica then founded WebRoot Solutions, an activist-oriented website design, development and hosting project, which Jessica still runs. Brian is now projects manager at Agaric.
He has been an active participant in Z's online operations since 1994, when he attended the Z Media Institute. Brian has taught a variety of courses at ZMI in the years since.

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power.
