Dear Media-justice Allies,

There are a great many media democracy activities
taking place this Fall across the country. As the FCC
starts a process that could kill the last few rules
limiting media concentration and news corporations
beat war drums for the Iraq attack show, media
activists are gathering to strategize, educate and
organize.

To build connections between these events and help
publicize the growing movement for democratic media,
we are creating a printed brochure that will promote
October as a "Media Action Month." This brochure and a
companion Web site will list upcoming media democracy/
media justice events, contact information for media
activism groups and include ideas for how to celebrate
Media Democracy Day (October 18th), an initiative
that is gaining participation across Canada and the
U.K. This quick & simple project is one way we can
aggregate our strength by raising visibility and
providing context to the efforts of separate
organizing groups. For the Web version we will be
coordinating with other organizations who have related
calendar projects.

We are working fast to get this printed an distributed
at several major gatherings at the end of September,
please contact us ASAP if you have events to list or
if you can help in other ways (see below).

Onward!

1. If you know of events in October that should be

2. Ideas for celebrating Media Democracy Day? We're
looking for activities and actions people can do in
their own communities. Check out

3.  We have $1200 committed so far.  We need to raise
another $1500 to take the project to the next level
and really do it well.  Help build the movement and
consider co-sponsoring this project which will benefit
all our work and those we work with. Contributions of
$250 or more especially appreciated.  (contact us
about how to make out checks).

4.  Help with distribution and promotion once the
materials are ready. Let us know if you can distribute
copies of the brochure at large gatherings, campuses,
etc. If you can commit to downloading and 
printing copies of the brochure, we can deduct the
cost of printing and mailing them to you.
