Organization description:
The Northwest Alliance for Alternative Media and Education has it’s roots in grassroots monthly syndicated print publications. In the past four years we’ve been reborn to a broadly focused group that is organizing around supporting grassroots cooperative media, especially low-power FM, small film collectives and more. We are all-volunteer with a dynamic team deeply involved in movement work in Washington, Oregon and beyond. We have a lot of upcoming projects moving forward.
