About Extractd

Founded in late 2009, Extractd is an online source of do-it-yourself actions and ideas in response to today’s news and issues. We take recent news and issues and offer an easy way to engage them. We share ideas that we hope you extract, use and share.

Today’s leading news organizations excel in offering you the most essential facts about a news event or issue. One area we feel is not being highlighted is the connection between recent news and actions a person can take to get involved with the issue.

Extractd was born out of the desire to inform and give people a short list of actions and ideas. No longer should people feel informed yet powerless when they consume information.

Our goal is to inform you by curating informative links and resources from leading news organizations and to help you begin your own journey by researching and providing useful actions you can take to get involved in today’s news and issues.
