Media Tank's New
and Improved Membership Program |
It isn’t enough to
just believe in media justice, we need to support outlets that
are already working towards a more just, representative, and accountable
media system. To do this, we wanted to connect you, our members,
with independent media sources that are recognized for their dedication
to promoting independent voices in the media.
Our hope is to begin creating a community composed of our members
and progressive businesses with the goal of acting as responsible
consumers and active participants in our community. When supporting
local alternatives to the corporate giants we are actively participating
in creating change toward a more socially responsible business
model.
Listed below is a list of our current membership sponsors. Media
Tank members receive exclusive discounts at these socially conscious
businesses. Scroll down to learn more about the businesses Media
Tank has partnered with to bring you this new, exciting membership
package and learn how you can join Media Tank today! |

New City Community
Press is grounded in the belief that writing is
an implicit organizing tool that can produce social change.
We imagine writing as an act that can project us beyond
the parameters of individual selfhood into the body politic.
To that end, New City works with communities struggling
to gain cultural and political representation, aiding them
in recording and distributing their stories to the larger
public.

Seven Stories Press
believes publishers have a special responsibility to
defend free speech and human rights whenever possible.
Each year, in collaboration with Project Censored,
we publish the annual compilation of censored new stories
and in response to the political crisis triggered by September
11, 2001, Seven Stories has stepped up its publishing
on issues regarding U.S. foreign policy, civil liberties,
human rights and social justice.

Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop
Culture publishes incisive commentary and analysis
of TV, film, advertising, music, books, and magazines, while
also spotlighting feminist pop culture-makers. Bitch strips
away the gloss, the kitsch, and the consumerism that threatens
to mask the social importance of feminism, downplay it as
just another marketable trend, and dismiss its relevance
altogether.

to informing and analyzing popular movements for social,
environmental and economic justice; to providing a forum
for discussing the politics that shape our lives; and to
