Thank You Thursdays: the Women’s Media Center

The Progressive Women’s Voices program at the Women’s Media Center is now accepting applications from women who want to get enlightened, feminist media training, build the platform of either their individual work or their organization’s work, and shift the dialogue in mainstream and alternative media. I was part of the very first class and I found it to be the one of the most authentic and rewarding media trainings, not to mention activist/intergenerational communities, that I’ve ever experienced.

Check out Ileana Jimenez, who I wrote about last week, on why she feels that the Progressive Women’s Voices program at the Women’s Media Center was so important to her. An excerpt:

Equally important to me is the opportunity to create a platform as a woman of color within a media field that is largely dominated by white men. Learning how to create that platform with other women leaders of color in my cohort such as Rose Aguilar, Christine Ahn, Taina Bien-Aimé, Sandra Finley, Sujatha Jesudason, Mana Kasongo, and Cristina López means that I am not only a part of Progressive Women’s Voices but a larger progressive women’s movement that is changing the landscape of both how we talk about the issues and who is talking about the issues.

Apply today. The deadline is February 28th.
