Facebook, Twitter, print? What are effective forms for communicating with a mass audience in this technological era? Organizations are exploring ways to reach a broader segment of society (beyond door-to-door organizing or phone banking) to move them to act on a progressive agenda. This workshop will explore how to use new and legacy media, communications strategies, and technology to push our work forward and make the movement visible to all.

The frustration and rage that erupted on April 1992 had long been simmering, fed by poor education conditions, a lack of employment opportunities, and police abuse among other things.  As a result, many youth participated in the unrest and that, along with ongoing imprisonment, gang violence, and Props 209 (1996) and 21 (2000), has led organizations to prioritize youth involvement and new strategies to improve conditions. This panel will explore early responses to the violence, the criminalization of Black and Brown youth, and current efforts to build a youth-led movement for change.

The Freedom From Fear Award is a new national award that honors 15 ordinary people who have committed extraordinary acts of courage on behalf of immigrants and refugees—individuals who have taken a risk, set an example, and inspired others to awareness or action. The award honors unsung heroes who are not professional advocates.
