2012 Anchors Retreat Report
3
Over the next 12-18 months, MAG-Net members
will lead diverse regional projects focused on
digital inclusion, wireless rights, community
media, cultural and media infrastructure, eco-nomic rights, and elevating the public voice of
excluded workers. Together, the network will
work collectively to pass federal and state rules
to lower the cost of calls from incarcerated and
detained people and protect under-represented
wireless consumers.
MAG-Net is a chapter-based network, with twelve
regional chapters governed by a team of local Anchor
institutions in New Mexico, Pennsylvania, New York,
Texas, California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia,
Minnesota, and Illinois. Anchor institutions are lead-
ing local or statewide groups with the infrastructure,
capacity, and will to network locally at the intersection
of media and social justice.
About the Center for Media Justice (CMJ)
The Center for Media Justice (CMJ) is a communica-
tions training, strategy, and action tank mobilizing
bold cultural strategies to end racism and poverty,
and strengthen grassroots social justice movements.
Launched as an organization in 2008, we help racial
and economic justice groups deploy coordinated
communications strategies and coalesce their politi-
cal power for regulatory media change. Our programs
include the Media Training and Technical Assistance
Program, and the Media Rights and Access Organizing
Program.
CMJ is the fiscal and strategic manager of the Media
Action Grassroots Network, a signature project of the
Media Rights and Access Organizing Program. As such,the Center for Media Justice is charged with coordi-
nating the governance activities of the Anchors Team,
effective financial management, strategic planning,
infrastructure management, membership services, and
mobilization of the network to achieve its shared goals.
To fulfill this mandate, CMJ has engaged our staff of
ten- including one full time Membership Organizer, a
full-time National Organizer, and portions of all remain-
ing staff time dedicated to network management.
In July 2012 CMJ additionally contracted a Network
Development Specialist to implement a 12-month net-work development plan.
