The Second Annual New York City Grassroots Media Conference Hosted at the New School University April 9-10, 2005 The New York City Grassroots Media Conference is now accepting workshop proposals for workshops, discussions, panels, multi-media and art that address the focus of this year's event: How can independent media best serve the needs of communities organizing around issues of justice and equality? Last year 1,000 media makers, activists, students, teachers, and youth came together at the first Grassroots Media Conference for a weekend of learning, discussion and networking. This year, from media policy forums and hands on DIY (Do It Yourself) workshops to art installations and a mini-video festival, conference attendees will participate and network with an array of New York's grassroots media and creative resistance resources. We invite you to join us for this important conference. We want a diverse representation of media organizations, media makers, media activists, youth and local community organizations who are interested in utilizing independent and grassroots media as a means for achieving social justice. Workshop, discussion and panel proposals deadline February 18, 2005 Art submissions deadline March 15, 2005.
