Overview

The goal of this workshop is to empower youth organizers with new media tools to use in their community organizing efforts. Through the BAMN circle, youth organizers will be guided through a path to utilizing their own knowledge and creativity to develop engaging media products. These projects will be used to develop action plans to create positive action in disenfranchised communities. By following the pattern above: consume, analyze, respond, produce, amplify- youth participants will gain important skills in critical thinking, media literacy, media production, media policy, and media justice- all through the lens of the important work that they are already doing.

Participants will have access to resources, tools, and will build new skills in order to make one of the following products:

• Video
• Digital Story
• Music Video
• Music Track
• Website
• Photo Journal
• Zine/chapbook Publication

Today Congress is holding its first  hearing about the images of women in the media.  The hearing will  mainly focus on misogyny in hip hop lyrics and videos.  The heads  of Viacom, the Universal Music Group, and the Warner Music Group will  testify, and Master P and David Banner are the only artists who will  appear.

Please post your thoughts on a new forum about the Hip Hop congressional hearing created by “Where My Ladies At.”  This is a project by the Global Action Project.
