ACME Summit continues to grow



- - Please circulate widely - -


NEWS:
             Many national figures donate hundreds of books, DVDs, & 
CDs to ACME attendees.
             Major speakers volunteer for ACME coalition (see below)
             Participate in "Declarations of Media Independence!"  
             ACME's 2004 Summit, July 1-4 at the University of San Francisco

ACME IS SOLVING A PROBLEM
A diminishing number of media monopolies (Big Media) increasingly 
censors mainstream information, creating false impressions of 
politics, health, pharmaceauticals, the environment, women's rights, 
addictions and more.  Unfortunately, most media literacy curricula 
are created with Big Media money.

ACME is changing that system and our media culture.  Created in 2002 
by a coalition of nationally known media educators and critics, ACME 
holds its second conference in San Francisco, July 1-4. ACME 
represents real activism as Summit support comes from speakers who 
donate their time as well as hundreds of their books, curricula, 
CD-ROMs and DVDs to attendees.

ACME is designed to be an inexpensive conference that everyone can 
attend ($28/night).

See <http://www.acmecoalition.org>www.acmecoalition.org for more 
details. Take critical media literacy education, independent media 
production, and grassroots media justice and reform to the next level!
