“Focusing my efforts on media advocacy has been a natural progression. It’s the future for feminist action; all activist roads lead back to it. Younger women in particular see how the media is the new battleground for equality. Dedicating my work to media and organizing around it wasn’t a difficult decision--it’s where young women are needed most and where we have the most potential for impact.”
-Jessica Valenti, 27 year-old YWTF New York City Member
The Younger Women’s Task Force (YWTF) announces the Media Justice Project, a groundbreaking new program to infuse the growing media justice movement with the voices, energy, and talent of the younger women’s community, thereby strengthening the scope and reach of the movement as a whole, and connecting it to the next generation of women leaders. Through the Media Democracy Project, YWTF seeks to:
1. Build the newest arm of the media justice movement, expanding its constituency to include the largely untapped pool of younger women in their 20s and 30s
2. Increase American young women’s awareness about the importance of the media justice movement through mainstream and alternative viral marketing tools
The Media Democracy Project will create a new set of voices readily available to support the critical movement for just, accurate, and unbiased American media.
