About the AMC:
Allied Media Conference 2009
We Are Ready Now: Media and creativity to transform our selves and our world
The 11th annual Allied Media Conference will advance our visions for a just and creative world. It will be a laboratory for media-based solutions to the matrix of life-threatening problems we face. For the past 10 years, we have evolved our definition of media, and the role it can play in our lives – from zines to video-blogging to breakdancing, to communicating solidarity and creating justice. Each conference builds off the previous one and plants the seeds for the next. Ideas and relationships evolve year-round, incorporating new networks of media-makers and social justice organizers. The 2009 AMC will draw strength from our converging movements to face the challenges and opportunities of our current moment. We are ready to create, connect and transform. For more information and to register for the conference, visit www.alliedmediaconference.org.

Today is my cumpleaños. Sunday was Dia de las Madres. Two days where mujeres like me are supposed to be a little selfish and focused on the self and I have to admit, there hasn’t been much of that around here lately.
So what does a Mamita Mala want?
You could always either donate or purchase a Speak! Cd, zine & curriculum (zine and curriculum are in the final stages). Yours truly and other mamis and mujeres are on this cd speaking on our experiences through musica, poetry and prose. And you just don’t get a cd pero you will be helping single mami media makers (like me!) and their hijos get to the Allied Media Conference.
You can help other mamis, like the ever amazing Noemi. Buy some buttons or zines. If you’re part of a university, library or other organization, please purchase the Speak! cd at the institution price.
The Speak media collective can be found here.

VivirLatino loves the Allied Media Conference and this fundraiser is such an amazing idea for so many reasons. Taking care of ourselves is so important and we don’t do it enough. Plus it’s for a wonderful cause, a truly independent media conference, free of corporate sponsors. Taking care of our health is central for independent media makers who work our assess off for little or no pay. It is a labor of love that requires not just physical energy and time pero also emotional and spiritual energy since what we write, speak and organize around are issues that are about our lives.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
