our new publication:

Mobilizing Our Resources:
How nationally focused media policy groups can help organizers build 
the base
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Media policy lobbyists, lawyers, researchers and other public-interest 
advocates who want to strengthen grassroots organizing efforts will 
find specific bullet-point recommendations in this report, drawn from 
interviews with leaders of eighteen local and national media-activist 
organizations

CIMA has produced this report as part of ongoing efforts to support 
strategic connections among groups working to change media policy and 
practice. Many of the interviews were conducted within an investigation 
we did for Consumers Union to help inform the development of their new 
website www.HearUsNow.org.

We hope you find this report useful and we welcome your feedback.
