From July 9th to July 12th, Manhattan Neighborhood Network and hundreds of non-profit organizations and public access stations will be in Washington, D.C., for the Alliance for Community Media's (ACM) National Conference. The conference is being held in order to educate how community media and public access television can be preserved for the general public.

Due to new state franchise laws, FCC rulings, and industry actions, Community Media and public access television is in danger. ACM, a membership non-profit organization, will be working with legislators and government officials in order to ensure that Congress will take action in favor for public access and community media.
