Allied Media Conference
Wayne State University - Detroit Michigan
June 20 -June 23, 2013
2012 Nation Inside: Communication Strategies Against Mass IncarcerationThis network gathering will build off the foundation laid by the Communication Strategies to End the Prison Industrial Complex track at AMC2011. The twenty grassroots organizations who participated in that track have spent the past year building partnerships and launching campaigns, including the national "Prison Phone Justice" campaign, the launch of a national grassroots prison radio project and many others. This year's network gathering will continue to build and advance media strategies for those working to dismantle the prison industrial complex in all of its forms, including: immigration detention centers, isolated prisons, prisoner renting, human rights violations, ICE raids, militarized police occupation of neighborhoods, and the separation of families. Bringing together urban and rural community media organizations we will develop powerful narrative campaigns—combining different forms of media (blogging, low-cost video, radio, print, web, phone, and viral communication) to organize resistance to policing, surveillance, and imprisonment.
