Why is media important in struggling for just policing practices? What’s happening to poor families/communities? How can video, internet, radio, cell phones and other technologies be employed to make our neighborhoods safer, for digital/media justice, and to organize the most directly impacted people to stand up for change/engage in self-determined movement building?

The session will involve a call and response type of facilitation allowing those in attendance to brainstorm, offer ideas and engage in sketching out an action pathway for both those in the room and those unable to attend whom the participants will have an opportunity to engage in the future, including:

• How mainstream media impacts prison justice struggles
• How prison justice groups have used media and technology strategically to organize and to protect our communities
• How others in attendance can use time, skills, resources to support prison justice groups using media and technology
