It will be a laboratory for media-based solutions to the matrix of life-threatening problems we face. For the past 10 years\, we have evolved our definition of media\, and the role it can play in our lives – from zines to video-blogging to breakdancing\, to communicating solidarity and creating justice. Each conference builds off the previous one and plants the seeds for the next. Ideas and relationships evolve year-round\, incorporating new networks of media-makers and social justice organizers. The 2009 AMC will draw strength from our converging movements to face the challenges and opportunities of our current moment.
