Fifth Annual NYC Grassroots Media Conference

March 2, 2008 at Hunter College

For the past four years, we’ve explored the political dimensions of media and how it shapes our lives. In developing relationships between community and media organizations, the NYC Grassroots Media Coalition is working to re-imagine issues of access to, control of, and power over our media system. That means defining our struggle as a struggle for Media Justice.

NYMAA's Propaganda working group will be meeting on Wednesday, March 5, at 7:00 p.m.

The meeting will take place at the the Muste Room (Room #306, Buzzer #11) in the A.J. Muste Institute, which is located at 339 Lafayette Street at the northeast corner of Bleecker Street in Manhattan. The closest subway stop is the Bleecker Street 6.

Our little admin group is getting together and changing the world one clerical decision at a time.

Thursday, March 13th, 8pm @ Brecht Forum

Working through non-profits, autonomous collectives, small socialist or
anarchist organizations, today's generation of anti-capitalist organizers
is bumping up against the limits of existing left forms--just as the 1960s
generation did under different conditions 40 years ago. Learning from past
successes and failures, can we identify fruitful approaches for making a
leap toward a more coherent radical movement in the next two-to-five
years?

Please join us for a multimedia presentation on the history and struggles of the Zapatista movement with very special guest from Chiapas, Mexico, Gloria Muñoz Ramírez. Famed author of the recently translated El Fuego y la Palabra (The Fire and the Word), Gloria is probably the closest person to the Zapatistas in Chiapas to have ever come to NYC. Don't Miss this!
