At Women, Action

the Media (WAM!) 2009, we'll gather together everyone who has a stake in
achieving gender justice in media, in order to share facts and ideas,
develop skills, build collaborations, bridge differences and create action
plans. We're bringing together more than 600 participants to exchange
observations, ideas, experiences, opinions, and tools for change-and plan
together for action. And we want you to submit a

WAM! is one of those rare spaces where you are encouraged to bring your
professional and activist selves together. Personally you will develop
important relationships at WAM! and have opportunities to upgrade your
technology, storytelling, business and/or organizing skills. You will also
have time to reflect on the impact of our collective efforts as women in the
media and discuss how we can continue making progress. As WAM! moves
forward, our efforts to integrate media and movements will evolve alongside
it.
-Irene Villasenor, American Documentary, Inc. | P.O.V. 

What questions, issues, and concerns do you want to hear debated? What
thinking, strategizing, planning or skill-sharing work should happen at WAM!
as a step forward in building the movement? What should we know, what should
we be doing, and what should we be preparing for?

WAM! has become for me an indispensable opportunity to meet talented writers
and editors and trade strategies about how to challenge sexism in what
remains a male-dominated field. Most importantly, because of WAM!'s frank
feminist orientation and open commitment to advancing social justice, its
panels and conversations provoke me to rethink the kinds of stories I
assign.
-Esther Kaplan, Investigative Editor, The Nation Institute

We invite you to submit a

CTtruulJjCsbaD2UkcVcEbdBi9nVSGgLiKqD> proposal for a workshop, panel,
strategy meeting, digital multimedia presentation, or other conference
session. We want to hear your ideas whether you're a media producer or a PR
strategist, a journalist, an activist, an academic, a community organizer, a
feminist, a funder or philanthropist, a "citizen" media watchdog, a media
policy advocate, an alternative-network-builder, a blogger, writer, teacher,
artist, technology trainer, cartoonist, deejay, or anything else!

I have gotten a great deal of contacts at WAM! for both professional and
personal purposes. I've met wonderful women journalists that I wouldn't
normally have access to. CNW attracts women from all different backgrounds,
no matter what race, color, sexual orientation, disability or class. It's
great to be around such terrific, smart women.

others who may be interested. We encourage you to be creative not only with
your proposed topic and content, but in your means of presentation-we're
seeking interactive, provocative, dialogue-rich sessions that might as
easily involve multimedia, collaborative projects, skills training or live
performance as a panel or standard speaker.
