<div align="center">If you believe communities should control their
media... 
If you believe everyone should have the tools to create and distribute
their own books, movies, music, newspapers, and more... 
If you believe communication is a human right... 
You should be at the Allied Media Conference. 
June 18-20, 2004. 
Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH 
Every year in June, hundreds of the most passionate people from the world
of independent media converge on Bowling Green, Ohio, for the Allied
Media Conference. The AMC focuses on sharing skills, building
alternatives to corporate media, and using media for positive social
change. In addition to hands-on, DIY workshops, the conference includes
film screenings, artist presentations, and a large exhibition hall to
share our work. There are caucuses for video activists, community
newspapers, and Indymedia members and a series of workshops for educators
on using independent media in the classroom. Set in a small, midwest
town, it's also a space to strengthen our community and enjoy each
other's company. 
JUST ANNOUNCED: 
The AMC will host a gathering on Saturday evening in the
Student Union with a special guest performance by The Evens (Ian MacKaye
and Amy Farina). The reception will be at 6pm immediately following
Saturday's conference sessions.
