Throughout the past few months, we have set along a journey to reintroduce our work of fiscal sponsorship through honoring our rich legacy of the Allied Media Conference. We loved hearing the reflections from our community of the way the AMC rippled through and shaped your lives ([link removed]) .
As we continue to process the impact of the AMC, we invite you to read the reflections of Katelyn Rivas, a longtime AMCer and current Network Liaison, as we bring this chapter of the AMC to a close. Take a moment to read her piece titled "A Collective Dream: Reimagining the Adoption Industrial Complex ([link removed]) ."
In May, we demystified fiscal sponsorship and highlighted the work of Allied Media Projects in nourishing national ecosystems of media for liberation ([link removed]) . In June, we are looking at the impact of AMP in nourishing media for liberation as fertile soil for more liberated futures.
This is a month marked by celebration and resistance; Pride, Juneteenth, the summer solstice, and the birthdays of AMP’s beloved teachers and ancestors, Grace Lee Boggs and Octavia Butler. They imparted teachings that urge us to embrace transformational and revolutionary love in response to state violence.

In Grace Lee Boggs' manifesto "Organization Means Commitment ([link removed]) ," she challenges us to "love each other in ways that seem ridiculous if we only think of revolutionary change as masses of people mobilized to make demands on a state."
Reflecting on Grace's words, we ask ourselves: How does she encourage us to express love for one another? What does this love look and feel like as we strive to evolve into more humane beings, grounded in interconnectedness and radical care?
Through this lineage of transformation and liberation, AMP is committed to supporting over 100 projects, across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, that help us imagine, vision, and implement the transformation we need to create more just worlds.
Our sponsored projects are rooted in media for liberation and focus on the work of racial justice, education, Detroit based organizing, abolition, growing collectives, building solidarity, and transformative justice.
Media for liberation has a ripple effect on the way we think about ourselves, our environment, and the systems of power that surround us. Media for liberation not only help us understand our context, they support us in envisioning new possibilities for creating and practicing more just futures.
We are thrilled to share some of the work our projects are bringing into the world. ([link removed]) These are just a few examples of the media created by our projects. We look forward to featuring more in the months to come.
