>
>WOMEN, ACTION & THE MEDIA: Making Noise, Making Change
>Friday, March 31 -- Sunday, April 2
>MIT's Stata Center, Cambridge, MA
>
>Have you noticed that progressive women's voices have been 
>increasingly been shut out of the media (and, as a result, out of 
>much public policy discussion)? It's time to put women back in the 
>story. That's why the Center for New Words is hosting the third 
>annual Women, Action & the Media (WAM!) conference. Our past two 
>conferences have featured such speakers as Katha Pollitt, Medea 
>Benjamin, Marie Wilson, Julianne Malveaux, Jill Nelson, Amy Goodman, 
>Daisy Hernandez, Rita Henley-Jensen, Lisa Jervis, Shelley Lewis, 
>Elaine Lafferty, Noy Thrupkaew, and many more. This year's 
>conference will bring together more than 300 participants for over 
>two days of meeting, discussing, and exchanging our observations, 
>ideas, experiences, opinions, and tools for change-and to plan 
>together for action.

>SAVE THE DATE! Registration opens in November. Don't miss a thing -- 
>email wam at centerfornewwords.org today to be put on the WAM!2006

>CALL FOR PROPOSALS:
>At WAM!2006, we'll develop skills and action plans to amplify 
>progressive women's public voices-as analysts, opinion-makers, 
>educated citizens and influences in civil society. But to do that, 
>we need you. What questions, issues, and concerns do you want to 
>hear debated? What are the actions we should be taking, and what 
>should we be preparing for? Our CFP guidelines are attached in a 
>word document, and are also available at 
>www.centerfornewwords.org/wam2006.html . Please send us your session 
>proposals! Plus -- let us know you're working on it! Email us 
>wam at centerfornewwords.org and we'll send you reminders about 
>upcoming deadlines and other important CFP information.
>
>We'll see you at the Conference!
