> The murder of Trayvon Martin ignited a groundswell of art, media and film production around the world. Cultural and social media strategies like #hoodiesup protests, memes, songs and murals created forums to connect intersecting issues of police brutality, white supremacy, vigilantism, and a biased corporate-controlled media. The “not guilty” verdict has only increased cultural resistance to a broken system.
> 
> Our July 31st Digital Dialogue features MAG-Net members, artists, and cultural organizers discussing how the Zimmerman verdict and overlapping racial justice fights tie into our movement for media rights and access. Topics include how cultural strategies are being used to fight back against legislation like Stand Your Ground, inaccurate depictions of our communities, and the criminalization of people of color.
