DataCenter has been working with Storytelling and Organizing Project (STOP), Harm Free Zone, Visions to Peace Project, and Revolution Starts at Home to develop a track at this year’s Allied Media Conference in Detroit (June 18-20, 2010). The Creating Safe Communities track explores how to use media to develop and implement transformative anti-violence initiatives in your community. It has a special focus on using storytelling as a tool for organizing against interpersonal violence. The track is designed to highlight our collective responses to violence, and showcase our creative resources for self-determination, liberation, and community accountability.
