Break the Media Blockade on Anti-War Protests
YOUTH MOVES to Build THEIR Own Media by Telling THEIR Story THEIRSelves.
Change the Game
WHERE: Sunset Blvd. meets Hollywood Blvd. at the cross roads.
Hollywood, CA
WHEN: SATURDAY April 19th 2003, 3pm-5pm
WHAT: Change The Game will be filming a GMA - Guerrilla Media Announcement in celebration of youth activism and in protest of the recent war on Iraq. A GMA is an
opportunity for the community to speak out and show how they feel about an
issue. The event will be documented, edited into a powerful format, and
aired to touch other like-minded individuals.
"Too often the voice of young people & the community is buried under mainstream propaganda, said organizer Karl Carter. "It’s time we use our art, music and culture to take our message directly to the people."
Change The Game is collaborating with other youth, young adult,
and people of color led organizations whothat will show how war with Iraq is
taking a disproportionate toll on our communities. Beyond the loss of life
and the grievous misuse of public funds, it overshadows the war that we are
facing in our own neighborhoods which has never been honestly addressed by
our nation.
BACKGROUND FROM ANNOUNCEMENT:
· Are you sick of the steady stream of right wing war hawks, retired
generals, and oil executives throwing a pro-war pep rally on commercial tv?
· Are you having a hard time telling the difference between reporters that
are “embedded” and those that are “in bed with” the US military?
· Are you fed up with the endless stream of public opinion polls that tell
us how weak the US opposition to this racist war really is?
· Are you done with being told that the only way to support our troops is to
blindly endorse this preemptive war that will endanger global peace for
generations to come?
· Are you tired of being told that National Security is all about killing
Saddamm and not about ensuring better schools, housing, and healthcare for
our children?
