[creative-radio] Reclaim your Agenda to Close the Refugee Camps/ Lagers and Break the Racist Isolation

Reclaim your Agenda to Close the Refugee Lagers and Break the Racist
Isolation
Update: http://thevoiceforum.org/node/2144

Close the Refugee Lagers
Rally on Thursday, 23. June 2011, 4pm in (Am Anger) Erfurt

Regular Meetings in Jena two times a month:
Every second and last Tuesdays of the month, at 6pm.
Place: The VOICE Refugee Forum, Schillergaesschen 5, 07745 Jena

Reclaim your Agenda - Break Racist Isolation

It's a movement to Break the isolation of refugees in Germany and to
scandalize the racist persecution of refugees by the state through
migration control and its instruments of residenzpflicht, deportations,
social benefits and other forms of discriminatory isolation of refugee in
camps and lagers.

We are planning further rallies and campaigns to demand for the immediate
closure of the refugees isolation camps in Zella-Mehlis, Gerstungen and
Breitenworbis and to support the call of Gangloffsömmern's refugees'
demands for private housing for refugees in Thüringen.

Thüringen refugee communities are starting to discuss the possibilities of
several actions with an ultimatum to reach further protest against the
lagers - against the residenzpflicht pass laws, deportations, abuse of
freedom of movement, against the social exclusion and against the
exclusion from rights and social benefits.

Refugees in the lager are intimidated and threatened by persecution and by
the abuses of the authorities in order to isolate them, especially those
who openly campaigned to criticize the precarious and unhealthy living
conditions and the various abuses of the refugee rights in lagers.

Refugees are saying No! to intimidations and threat of persecution
especially to those political refugee activists.

LET'S join together, to take control and set the rules to protest against
the racist persecutors of refugees in Germany!

Join to keep a close watch on the district authorities and to stop their
culture of further isolation of the refugees even after the closure of the
lagers in Thueringen!

Unite with the struggles of the oppressed against the racist persecution
of the refugees in Germany and show concrete support!

During the manifestations, there will be inputs and speeches on the Break
Isolation Campaign in Thüringen with the participation of groups and
refugee activists from the previous and the last events, actions and
campaigsn like from Apolda, Jena, Mühlhausen, Eisenach, Zella-Mehlis,
Erfurt, Saalfeld, Gotha, Schmölln, Gera, Suhl, Meiningen, Hildburghausen,
Nordhausen, Arnstadt and others.

The successful solidarity for the closure of isolation lagers in the last
three years in Katzhütte, Gehlberg, Apolda/Strobaerstraße to the recently
and now decided Gangloffsömmern, the echo of our activities in the media,
active through our active/consistent participation in the campaigns,
rallies and demonstrations as in Meiningen and Zella-Mehlis shows our
potent and far we are reaching our goals to close the lagers as we
continue to empower the strugggles for self liberation of the oppressed
refugees and to support their demands seriously. We will succeed!

e urgently need regular financial support by donation. Self-liberation of
the oppressed means autonomy of our struggles and political independence
from the racist state structures of the authorities.

We appeal for Contributions to empower our autonomy and show your
solidarity by regular support, Participation and donations!

Demonstration on Saturday, 22. October 2011 in Erfurt

[creative-radio] Promoting the establishment of a UNESCO "World Radio Day"

The Spanish Academy of Radio Arts and Sciences is a radio society of Spain
which is promoting the establishment of the World Radio Day by the UNESCO.

http://www.worldradioday.org/

PRONOUNCEMENT

We would like to support the initiative of the Spanish Radio Academy to
propose to the UNESCO the founding of a "World Radio Day" within the
International Days UN calendar.

Since its launch more than a century ago, radio is free and accessible to
the majority of the world's population. Radio deserves a World Radio Day
tribute. Undoubtedly, this date will be celebrated by radio professionals
and millions of radio listeners around the world.

We are agreeable to celebrate the "World Radio Day" on every 30th of
October. This date coincides with the broadcasting of one of the most
relevant and well-known radio programmes in the history of radio, The War
of the Worlds. This radio drama was directed by Orson Welles and broadcast
by CBS on the 30th of October 1938 and since then, radio stations all over
the world have produced versions in their own languages.

Radio Summer Heats Up

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Prometheus Radio Project
Date: 2 June 2011 18:09
Subject: Radio Summer Heats Up
To: George Lessard <

You know that community radio is a powerful tool for social justice. It can be used to register voters, fight toxic waste, give voice to emerging artists, expand our communities. Thanks to your efforts the reach of community radio has the potential to grow exponentially. WE FOUGHT for passage of the Local Community Radio Act. WE WON – in the next several months the FCC will begin accepting applications for new low power FM licenses. IT IS NOT OVER. We have an historic opportunity to shape the future of radio. This summer Prometheus Radio Project is organizing groups to apply for these licenses and we need your help to make this happen. DONATE: Become a sustaining donor and fund the future. It will take several years to get these new stations up and running and we will be leading the effort to see them succeed. ORGANIZE: sign up on the Radio Summer page to host an event, or someone else who is traveling on your area. MAKE MORE RADIO! Together we can put the power of media in the hands of the people.

PS. Become a monthly Sustaining Donor at the $25 level and receive a free T-shirt!

Inside this issue:

Radio Summer heats up!
Low power economic study = low impact exercise for FCC
FCC Reminders: Broadcast license renewals and new Emergency Alert System (EAS) requirements
Our new Field Director has arrived!
Station Profile: WRFR-LP 93.3 FM - Rockland, Maine
Build a transmitter

Radio Summer heats up!

Media justice advocates are tuning into the largest expansion of community radio stations in U.S. history. Prometheus and our allies in the People-Powered Radio Coalition are positioning social justice groups to apply for and win those licenses soon to be issued by the F.C.C. Hundreds of Radio Summer volunteers have committed to supporting our widespread outreach efforts, and events are already being organized nationally to promote the expansion of community radio.

This summer Prometheus will do targeted outreach at several key conferences, starting with the Allied Media Conference in Detroit, June 23 – 26. Our participatory workshop at the AMC will use popular education tools to train community media leaders as Radio Summer volunteers. They will go on to organize events about community radio, uniting community groups around issues that affect them, and empowering them with the blazing flame of locally produced media.

We will also be presenting at the Allied Media Conference, the National Federation of Community Broadcaster's Annual Community Radio Conference, the Grassroots Radio Conference and more.

Since we can't be everywhere at once, we really depend on YOU to help us spread the word about community radio expansion in your community! If you haven't done so already, please visit Radio Summer and sign up to be a volunteer!

Low power economic study = low impact exercise for FCC

This month, we'd like to offer our condolences to the FCC. The Local Community Radio Act started out as a simple mandate for the FCC to expand low power radio. But during its journey to becoming law, various lawmakers added stipulations to please their state broadcast lobbies, each one exacting a toll before allowing the bill to progress. Most of these additions were harmless, a few were burdensome for low power stations, and some just waste the FCC's time. The upcoming economic impact study is in this last category.

Thanks to the messy business of legislative compromise, the Local Community Radio Act requires the FCC to "conduct an economic study to evaluate the impact that low power FM stations will have on full-service commercial stations." The FCC must complete the study by the end of the year, so they are seeking comments by June 24 on how they should conduct the study.

Read on...

FCC Reminders: Broadcast license renewals and new Emergency Alert System (EAS) requirements

There are two important FCC requirements coming up that all stations should know about.

Every station must renew their FCC broadcast license within the next 4 years. Your specific deadline is determined by your state. See the FCC's page about the process for more information, and to find out your state's deadline. Also, check out our guide to license renewal process for LPFMs for tips.

Our new Field Director has arrived!

We are thrilled to welcome Belinda Rawlins as Field Director at the Prometheus Radio Project. Belinda will lead our campaign to expand low power radio, coordinating Prometheus staff and the People Powered Radio Coalition to organize and support applicants for new low power radio stations.

Belinda's strengths in strategic planning, coalition building, organizational development, and technical geekery are a perfect fit for Prometheus as we grow our organization and our movement on the heels of the Local Community Radio Act. She brings 25 years of experience in community radio, proven success in grassroots campaigns for community media, and over a decade of executive leadership in public media organizations.

Station Profile: WRFR-LP 93.3 FM – Rockland, Maine

What do hoola hooping sessions, poetry readings, and a social worker have in common?

Low power radio, of course.

Meet WRFR-LP 93.3 FM in Rockland, Maine. Representing an entry in the station's weekly events calendar, a program broadcast on Thursday mornings, and a woman whose promotion airs on the station, this eclectic mix is par for the course at WRFR. (And for the record, the hoola hooping sessions, held on the second and fourth Friday of each month, are not a joke.)

This self-described "on-air voice of the community" in Rockland puts its microphone where its mouth is. The station features 54 programs from 50 volunteers, and it has some 85 sponsors, nearly all of them local.

Come build a transmitter

Who: Maggie, Roger, and Ana of the Prometheus Radio Project and The Hacktory

What: A transmitter building workshop that involves soldering parts and tuning up your very own mini FM radio transmitter.

Where: The Hacktory, above Nonprofit Technology Resources. 1524 Brandywine Street, Philadelphia PA 19130.

When: Saturday, June 18th from 1-4 pm.

Why: Building a radio transmitter is a great way to learn some basic theory about electronics and radio while getting your hands dirty. At the end you'll have a simple low-power transmitter that you can use to broadcast across a room. Mini-transmitters are perfect for sending music from an mp3 player to a car stereo, for broadcasting simultaneous interpretation of bilingual events, or any other application you can dream up.

Beginner friendly: No experience with radio or electronics is required!

Spanish friendly: While the primary language for this workshop is English, all documentation will be available in both English and Spanish, and there will be multiple bilingual instructors available to answer questions in Spanish.

Important note: The workshop costs $15. Space is limited, so register in advance by buying a ticket here.
