The 3rd Annual New York City Grassroots Media Conference returns to New School on Saturday, February 11, 2006!

Join hundreds of fellow media makers, activists, artists, academics and youth for an action-packed day of informative panels, hands-on workshops, strategy sessions and an evening networking party.

The conference provides a unique space in New York City to forge linkages between the growing independent media movement and local social justice campaigns. As 2006 will be a challenging year – from significant media policy issues in Congress that will affect our access to media channels to ongoing battles in our city for improvements in housing, education and healthcare for all communities – the GMC is an opportunity to envision and enact the social
change we all want to see in NYC. Our mission is a more accessible and representative media infrastructure that serves the diverse communities of our
city.

Panels will include discussions of race and independent media, culture jamming,
and how participants can help save public access television; a series of
compelling educational workshops designed just for youth; and a whole range of
do-it-yourself, skill-sharing work hops designed to teach each other how to
produce – and distribute – powerful and effective grassroots media.

We are accepting online proposals for workshops, art and film submissions, program advertisements, endorsements, and tabling reservations online.

Register online now to get a discounted rate. As always, we also welcome organizers, volunteers and donations of funds or materials.
