I hope you can join us in St. Louis May 13-15 for The National

As more and more Americans begin to understand the impacts of our broken
media system, thousands of activists will converge in St. Louis to
learn, strategize, network, and build momentum to fight for reform.

Speakers already scheduled for the event include FCC Commissioners
Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein, comedian Al Franken, author Naomi
Klein, journalist Juan Gonzalez, FAIR's Janine Jackson, Democracy Now's
Amy Goodman, syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington, TransAfrica
Forum's Bill Fletcher and author David Brock. Activist leaders and
members of Congress will be there as well.

Registration is now open. Register online by March 15 for the discounted
early bird rate: www.freepress.net/conference.

Scholarships are available. Free Press has secured a limited amount of
funding to provide scholarships to offset attendance costs for activists
who could not otherwise afford to attend. See

application deadline is March 1.

A chance to showcase your work. The "Media Democracy Showcase" will
provide an interactive space for conference participants to learn about
the exciting array of media activism and reform work being done by
local, regional and national groups across the country. We invite media
activist organizations to use this opportunity to showcase their work
and network with conference participants.  Go to
