Advocacy & Policy Network

NAMAC advocates for its members and the independent media field by partnering with other national advocacy groups working on a wide range of cultural, intellectual property, and telecommunications policy issues. From supporting local and regional grassroots activities to making sure our voices are heard by legislators and policymakers on Capitol Hill, NAMAC works to promote and protect the values of a free and independent media arts sector. We also strive to keep our members informed and energized about policy-related actions through news briefs, analysis and links to our partners' activities, and on-the-ground stories from activists around the country.

NAMAC has joined together with several organizations to advocate for legislation and policies that will have a positive and strengthening impact on the independent media field.

• The Benton Foundation
• Center for Creative Voices in Media
• The Center for Social Media at American University
• Media and Democracy Coalition (MADC)
• Public Knowledge
