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?
