The Digital Television Transition is impacting historically marginalized communities the most. Political Education, Power Analysis, Leadership Development and Movement Building are usually NOT what come to mind when you think of the Digital Television Transition. Yet across the country several organizations who are part of the Media Action Grassroots Network, successfully used the DTV Transition as a way to expand their base, develop new leaders, reach new allies and mobilize to secure a No Cost Box. This interactive session will walk participants through ways that you can build and deepen your base, increase your political education around the digital divide, and engage new and old members as well as unlikely allies in the fight for Communication Rights.
