This past June\, the National Conference on Media Reform in Minneapolis and the Allied Media Conference in Detroit were gathering spaces to address this important issue.
Local filmmaker and media producer Matt Gossage will report back on the issues covered at these two conferences and the national organizing movements which met there. This interactive discussion will focus on how the policies of media justice are crucial to all communities and social justice movements.
