Overview

imMEDIAte Justice trains youth in media literacy and reproductive health with a gender conscious lens. Professional filmmakers provide the mentorship, tools, & distribution teens need to share their vision with the world.
 
The focus for summer 2010 is to create positive sexuality education films by LGBTQ youth. We envision sexual education as an inclusive, exploratory, youth-driven process that utilizes new media as a tool to share and safely access information. Our online community, CALIBODYPOLITIX, keeps young women informed about reproductive health and justice in California with the largest network of national and local reproductive health resources for youth.  
 
The program and retreats foster positive self-image, supportive female alliances and media literacy skills, as participants graduate through a two-tier leadership development program that increases their influence as filmmakers and leaders of the next generation of women.

How will the 25K be Used?

Budget Notes: The Mobile Editing Lab reaches underresourced girls with little to no access to filmmaking equipment and facilities in rural and urban communities. Our youth will present at The Allied Media Conference, which cultivates strategies for a more just and creative world.
