What started out as the Z Media Institute Reunion has now grown into the Radical Media Convergence! Everyone is welcome even if we have never met you and this is a free of charge event. The only thing that is not free is the sailboat trip and we’ll still make sure no one is turned away for lack of funds. Where there is a will there is a way, as it should be!

Z Magazine is a radical activist Magazine published by the organizers of the Z Media Institute (ZMI). ZMI speakers have included Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky and many more speakers from around the world. The ZMI 2007 alumni and members of the Mutualist Project are independently organizing the First International Reunion of ZMI Alumni, friends, family and members of the public interest in topic of creating a better world. Friends and family of Z magazine and Z Media Institute who have never attended ZMI are also very welcome to join us. Potluck food events, spontaneous radical workshops and/or open forum discussion are encouraged. It is being organized by several members of the Mutualist project. The Mutualist project group came together at ZMI 2007. To see a photo of some of the Mutualist group in the Z Living room please go here: http://www.peacecommunities.org/5001.html
The Mutualist project was created for many reasons and one of those reasons includes to create a network that networks people without a need for money, using mutual-aid in order to create a world that doesn’t need money. Therefore it is very important for everyone to know that it is our strict desire that no money will be required by us, requested by us or accepted by us during this event. We ask that no one make any donation calls for this event on our behalf. It is our desire to be the change that we want to see in the world. Thanks. We initially planned a lot of activist events, but that changed. As Emma Goldman has said countless times… “Fuck it, let’s have fun…while networking for a better world!” [Not her exact words.] 
Many people have said Emma Goldman said “If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution!” but her actual words were:
“I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody’s right to beautiful, radiant things.” Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world–prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.”
~Emma Goldman [Living My Life (New York: Knopf, 1934), p. 56]
