What is WAM!?

WAM! started in 2004 as a project of the Center for New Words.In its first five years, WAM! has already grown from a small-but-spirited gathering of 100 women to an influential national force that this year convened more than 600 activists and media-makers from 29 states and 9 countries, and recently forced the Washington Post to revise its editorial policy after WAM!mers publicly protested yet another sexist slur aimed at Hillary Clinton.

And now WAM! is transforming into an independent national nonprofit dedicated to building a robust, effective, inclusive movement for gender justice in media by:

  • Convening media-makers, activists, academics, philanthropists, and everyone else who has a stake in achieving gender justice in media, in order to help these groups find common cause with each other.
  • Incubating new ideas for actionable social change that moves the media conversation forward.
  • Creating a glocal network of allies working to transform our current media’s twisted and inadequate portrayals of women and other oppressed groups into a media ecosystem that truly represents our lives and stories.
  • Removing the barriers to media access, production, employment and ownership that often keep women and other oppressed groups on the sidelines of our public conversations, and giving these same people the space and tools to create their own success.
  • Challenging ourselves and each other to heal the differences, oppressions and painful histories that too often prevent us from working together for mutual justice.
