2008 Women, Action, and the Media Conference Proposals due October 12
I’ve attended this conference twice, and enjoyed it. I think the conference tries to straddle both the “women working within mainstream media” and “women who make their own media” communities, so I’m hoping that more radical women will put in proposals. I know, motivated purely by selfishness, because I want there to be more panels and sessions that I am excited about. Here’s the link for the call for proposals:
The Call for Proposals for the 2008 Women, Action & the Media Conference: A Conference for Journalists, Activists & Everybody.
The CFP is online at http://www.centerfornewwords.org/wam/call_for_proposals.php
The deadline is October 12.

Punishing Protest
The National Lawyers Guild, who are awesome, just released an amazing report called “Punishing Protest: Government Tactics that Suppress Free Speech.” You can download it for free on their website.
The 90-page report details how different government agencies, from local police to Homeland Security, target protesters.
