This year, the NYC Grassroots Media Conference seeks to ask: What are the
common threads inherent in our global struggles for social change and how does
media contribute to our understanding of the root causes of injustice faced by
world communities? From educating ourselves and our government leaders to
spreading our messages and recruiting broader and more diverse  constituencies
into our campaigns, media is central to the struggle for social justice.
Therefore, the fight for better access to and representation in the media is
essential for advancing peace and justice both at home and abroad.

Join us for the 4th annual NYC Grassroots Media Conference as we explore
these connections and strategies, and come together to demand a media system
that will link our diverse communities, connect local and international
struggles, and fight for social justice across boundaries and beyond borders of
race, class, culture, gender, and sexuality.  In addition to a full day of
workshops and networking sessions there will be a political art installation,
full day film festival and an exhibition room featuring displays by local
organizations.

Participate in one of the most exciting, local, grassroots media and
activism events in New York!

More than 200 local organizations and over 3,000  people have already
participated in NYC Grassroots Media Coalition events. The conference offers
an ideal opportunity for presenting organizations and activists to reach out
and gain visibility among the many conference attendees and the slew of
participating organizations, and to network, make connections and form the
basis for future partnerships.

Information about how to submit proposals, art and film, purchase ads,
reserve tables and register for the conference is available at
