Base-building organizations rely on progressive press outlets to amplify their voices and campaigns, and to create high-quality multimedia representations of their agendas and actions. Media institutions as well as grassroots groups strive to be more and more thoughtful about how they pay attention to each others' work, stay in touch with each other, and maintain accountability and communication in any coverage or collaboration that brings them together. Please join us for an interactive conversation among a few of the most dynamic players out there -- we'll discuss "best practices" and explore potential creative opportunities for how media-makers and grassroots organizations can more thoughtfully, intentionally, and strategically communicate, relate, and build our projects and goals together. Please join members of Domestic Workers United and Picture the Homeless, and producers from Democracy Now and GRITtv, in this critical conversation for social justice activists, and producers and consumers of independent media.
