In this strategy-building discussion, media and advertising critics, media justice activists, and independent media producers will share diverse models we're utilizing to work for media change on the local, regional and national levels. By focusing on the hows and whats of our activism, the discussion will serve as a springboard to present replicable tactics, tools and strategies which attendees may be able to use to work for change in their communities in ways which could include: media monitoring and accountability campaigns; projects to amplify women's voices in media and public debate; using media as a community organizing tool; seeking just policies and regulation; producing independent print, broadcast and online media; utilizing new media and communications technologies to reflect and distribute the voices of our communities, and more. Bring your questions, your ideas and your energy, as you’ll be encouraged to share your own models and brainstorm among the group on ways we can work together toward the common goals of a social justice feminist vision of the media.
