UPDATE!!!!

SHOWDOWN AT THE FCC!!!

FREE RADIO ACTIVISTS MARCH ON WASHINGTON TO CONFRONT THE GLOBAL MEDIA
MONOPOLY AND THEIR MARIONNETTES IN GOVERNMENT!

Sunday October 4th and Monday October 5th

Calling all media activists, radio pirates, people for a democratic
media and people just fed up with crappy corporate radio:

Come to DC for the first national mobilization for free radio.
Microbroadcasters from around the country will gather for two days to
share radio skills, organize alliances, speak out to the media and
protest at the FCC and NAB buildings, culminating in a live broadcast
straight into the offices of the people working so hard to shut us
down. Free Radio Berkeley, Radio Mutiny, Steal This Radio and other
microstations have all broadcasted live in public and challenged
the FCC to shut them down in the light of day, in front of the press
and the Feds have never dared to show their face- this time, we're
going to take it right to their doorstep and tell them that if they're
so sure that their dumb law is worth enforcing, then the Chairman
should come down from the 8th floor and put the cuffs on us himself.
There will also be workshops to help new folks start stations,
appointments will be made to lobby congress people, and press events
will be held to show the true, diverse face of the microbroadcasting
movement.
