Culture Jammers Network - Communique 16: The Future of Media Activism 



.

Jammers,

Media activism, in all its disparate strains, is slowly but
surely
becoming a movement. In part, it's being spurred by the rise
of
information insecurity. But also by the growing realization that
our
corporate media system has a profound effect on nearly every
other
social and political issue we face. People, desperate for change,
are
organizing around media like never before. There's a feeling that
media
reform is truly the issue of issues, and that the wind is finally in
our
sails.

What's still missing though is a larger narrative that
describes and
explains our common cause. What's our "frame"? What's the
storyline that
can gel our currently disparate threads of activism into a
real, global
media movement -- a movement that parallels other great
social
movements of
our time, like environmentalism, feminism and
civil rights? Mental
environmentalism is one such powerfully simple
idea.

JULY 4TH:
INDEPENDENCE DAY
These are bleak times in America. Indeed, thanks to Bush and
the
neocons,
the prevailing mood has become a dangerous mix of
hopelessness and fear.
In this sorry state, it's ironic perhaps that as July
4th approaches
Americans will be making plans to celebrate
freedom.

It's time for jammers to take this opportunity, get together
with others
and build new kinds of meaning. JammerGroups across the United
States
are brainstorming about potentially creative and provocative actions
for
this Independence Day. How can we express our resistance and help
take
America back? Share your plans, join your local JammerGroup and find

BLACKSPOT
SHOES
Our experiment in grassroots capitalism just took a major step
forward
with our inaugural shareholder vote. People who have purchased a pair
of
the classic Blackspot Sneaker -- in other words, the shareholders of
The
Blackspot Anticorporation -- voted on the retail price of v2.0:
The
Unswoosher, our new organic hemp, recycled tire boot. In the end,
the
shareholders made it loud and clear that they want not
just
affordability, but also enough revenue to tackle all of
the
anti-corporate, pro-environmental ideals that make Blackspot Shoes
so
unique.

Stay tuned for the results from more shareholder votes. For
the latest
Blackspot developments, go to: <http://blackspotsneaker.org>

Best,
Adbusters
