When researching our Take Action links for the film Dedicated to My Family we were thrilled to discover the donation opportunities available on your site. We have therefore selected your organization as a Take Action link and all online viewers of Dedicated to My Family will be directed to your Web site.

Dedicated to My Family is a personal documentary about a teenage girl who dreams of the perfect family but after living in a teen shelter has learned that family is where the heart is. I anticipate that your constituents will be interested in Dedicated to My Family and we would appreciate if you link to the Media That Matters Film Festival on your site. I have included two versions of the Festival banner below that can act as a button to our film festival. I have also included a blurb about the Festival that we encourage you to post on your site and email to your members.

Corporate Accountability, Culture-Jamming, Sustainable Agriculture, and Civil Liberties: these topics and more are tackled by Media-Rights fourth annual Media That Matters Film Festival. Starting May 18th, 2004, the Festival brings high-impact shorts and take action tools to audiences around the country all year long. The jury-selected film and video shorts, digital stories and new media stream online, are broadcast, tour the country through community screenings, and are distributed as a jam-packed DVD. The Festival includes the launch of MediaRights' new media policy initiative, the Just Media Project, connecting filmmakers and media reformers, www.mediathatmattersfest.org/justmedia.
