How
You Can Help
The Friends Media
Project is looking for (f)Friends, who either through their profession,
volunteer work or hobbies, have an interest in mass media communication:
such as film makers, documentary producers, journalists and/or other
creative workers in Print, Radio, Video, Film or Internet. If you
would like to be a part of this group, can volunteer some of your
time; or you just want to find out more, contact Dana
Kester-McCabe about The Friends Media Project or do one of the
following:
1. Request a
speaker from FMP to come to your local Meeting and lead a discussion
on the topic of "Quaker Witness In Mass Media Communication." Emailing:
info@friendsmedia.org to
find out about speakers fees and travel expenses.
2. Organize
your own Friends Video Film Festival at your next Quaker gathering.
The project can recommend videos and provide materials including
discussion questions and recommended media lists.
3. Make a donation
of any film, video or photographs you might have of Quaker events,
worship, work projects or protests; of which you own the copyright
to and are willing to allow the Friends Media Project to use for
Quaker outreach or historical documentation. These need not be "professional"
quality. Your imagery will always be credited. Contact Dana Kester-McCabe
by emailing info@friendsmedia.org
to find out how. Or mail your donation directly by post to:
Friends Media Project

4. Become a
member. Make an annual donation of $25. As the organization grows
this will provide benefits that are not yet available like product
and service discounts and advance notification of work and retreat
opportunities. Monies raised will support things like hosting costs
for this website, grant application fees, converting film and photo
prints to digital format and other expenses for FMP video and new
media projects.
5. Volunteer your
time:
- Help find and apply
for grant monies.
- Recommend videos,
films, music, literature or events for the FMP
calendar.
- Submit essays, poetry,
photos, artwork or graphics for the Friends Media Project website
on topics relevant to those witnessing through mass media. Email
your submission to info@friendsmedia.org.
6. Let the
Friends Media Project know (and in turn other interested folks)
about job opportunities and projects you are working on either through
a posting on the Faithful Witness Leadings page or the "News of
Friends" section by emailing info@friendsmedia.org.
Also make contact with producers of projects listed on the Leadings
Page to volunteer or unite your efforts with theirs.
7. Email
the Friends Media Project about services you can provide - or
what job opportunities you are looking for to be listed in a Network
Directory which will be distributed to FMP members.
8. Make a donation
toward the Friends Media Project development fund. Your money will
go toward basic operating costs until we begin the retreat and education
center building phase of the project. Contact Dana Kester-McCabe
about The Friends Media Project, by emailing info@friendsmedia.org
to find out how. Or mail your donation directly by post to:

9. Include
the Friends Media Project in your prayers. Spiritual support is
greatly needed and appreciated. It isprobably what is needed most.

that "speak to your condition." Click
