5th Annual Media Reform Summit: Media for the 99%

Common Cause.jpeg

The Occupy Movement has taken the country by storm, changing the dialogue everywhere from the presidential primaries to kitchen tables. People are talking about economic inequality and power concentrated in the hands of a few -- and they're looking for solutions. Social media and alternative media have aided the movement, providing a wake up call to the unfair advantage wealthy individuals and corporations hold over regular citizens in the political process and mass media environment.

We want to explore these ideas with you at our 5th Annual Media Reform Summit: Media for the 99%. You'll learn how to make new kinds of media work for campaigns, sift through the flood of information on and offline, and understand media reform policy -- all with the aim of ensuring that the media report on the stories that matter to the 99%.

This exciting event is a month away - and you can RSVP to reserve your spot now.

WHEN: Saturday, March 3 from 9:30am - 4:00pm
WHERE: Occidental College, 200 Johnson Hall
RSVP: Here.
AGENDA: Here.

Stay tuned for more updates, and we can't wait to see you!
