WAM! (Women, Action & The Media), which is dedicated to building a robust, effective, inclusive movement for gender justice in media, started in 2004 as a project of the Center for New Words. In its first five years, WAM! has grown into an influential national force; it forced the Washington Post to revise its editorial policy after WAM!mers publicly protested a sexist slur aimed at Hillary Clinton.
