Presenters: The Media Mobilizing Project, Philadelphia

The Media Mobilizing Project has been working in the Philadelphia region to build a media and communications infrastructure for movement building. We have been doing this work with organizations and people across sectors of organizing - youth and education, new labor, immigration, development and displacement. In this session we will present and facilitate a discussion on the role, successes, and challenges of communications and network building in organizing toward shared movements. We invite others who are organizing, building local and national networks, along with creating media for movements to join and contribute to this discussion. We hope this conversation will help in creating a vision Detroit's own community media center.
