Presenters: Silicon Valley De-Bug

Silicon Valley De-Bug uses community media to organize against policies that criminalize and brutalize young people. This session will offer specific models for how media and storytelling can be used in case specific advocacy to win justice in the courtroom for people who have been falsely charged or who have lost loved ones to police violence. We will also show how youth media can be used to combat the corporate media hysteria that criminalizes young people, and ultimately lead to full-blown campaigns to change policies such as anti-gang laws and the use of Tasers by Police Departments.
