Mission

The Representation Project (TRP) is the leading gender watchdog organization. Using film and media as catalysts for
 cultural transformation, TRP inspires individuals and communities to challenge limiting gender stereotypes and shift norms. Jennifer Siebel Newsom founded the organization in 2011 in response to the overwhelming public demand for ongoing education and social action in support of her first film, Miss Representation. Since then, TRP released Newsom’s second film, The Mask You Live In, and third film, The Great American Lie. The organization is well known for creating popular social media activism campaigns such as #NotBuyingIt, #AskHerMore, and #RepresentHer. TRP offers robust youth programming giving voice to the next generation of media creators.
