DESCRIPTION:Don't Miss This Important Discussion!     Tune In, Turn On, Take Action: 
 Real Activism for Accountability in the Media    Co-presented by Film Arts 
 Foundation, Media Alliance, and Action Coalition for Media Education 
 (ACME)     Wednesday, May 18, 7–9 pm     A handful of media giants 
 dominate our media system and the policymaking process that structures it, 
 causing serious problems for our democracy and our wellbeing. Today more 
 than ever, Big Media is not meeting our communities’ needs in helping 
 people make informed decisions about public policies and their daily lives. 
 So, what can be done about it? Bay Area groups such as Media Alliance, the 
 Youth Media Council, and Code Pink are taking on corporate giants and 
 successfully holding them accountable using a variety of strategies. From 
 license renewal challenges and grassroots monitoring projects to lawsuits 
 and street protests, these groups are leaders in a growing national 
 movement for media accountability and media justice.     Join Jeff 
 Perlstein of Media Alliance, Malkia Cyril of Youth Media Council, and 
 Andrea Buffa of CodePink to examine these efforts and learn how Bay Area 
 residents can get involved and take action.   $3–$10/Sliding scale for 
 members and nonmembers.   Space is limited. Call (415) 552-8760 to reserve 
 your spot today!   Held at: Film Arts Foundation  145 Ninth Street, 
 between Mission and Howard.  Educating independent filmmakers since 1976.
