Sun May 08 17:49:33 GMT 2022






**Activist Media: Documenting Movements and Networked Solidarity**
By Gino Canella (Rutgers University Press)

Now more than ever, activists are using media to document injustice and promote social and political change. Yet with so many media platforms available, activists sometimes fail to have a coherent media and communication strategy.

Drawing from his experiences as a documentary filmmaker with Black Lives Matter 5280 and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 105 in Denver, Colorado, Gino Canella argues that activist media create opportunities for activists to navigate conflict and embrace their political and ideological differences. Canella details how activists' media practices—interviewing organizers, script writing, video editing, posting on social media, and hosting community screenings—foster solidarity among grassroots organizers fighting for change.

Informed by media theory, this book explores how activists leverage media to mobilize supporters, communicate their values, and reject anti-union rhetoric. It demonstrates how collaborative media production can help activists build the kinds of broad-based coalitions needed to realize their vision for a more equitable and just society.
