League of Revolutionaries condemns attack on Micro-radio!
The League of Revolutionaries for a New America condemns the government's
attack on Micro-power Radio.
Micro-Power radio has become one of the last opportunities for communities
to access electronic media and provide community access to the airwaves.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has agreed to look at changing
it's regulations to provide for a Low Power FM category (LPFM) and since
that time the FCC has increased it's efforts to shut down Micro-Power
stations across the country.
In some cases armed SWAT Teams have been used and even stations that have
been serving their communities for years, if not decades have been
targeted.
Including Black Liberation Radio in Illinois and MicroKIND Radio in San
Marcos Texas.
Since the so-called Tele-Communications Reform bill passed, media
(especially radio outlets) has been concentrated into fewer and fewer large
corporate hands.
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has pushed the FCC to shut
down as many Micro-Power radio stations as possible. The corporate media in
the US and for that matter worldwide want no challenges to their domination
of the flow of information. These media conglomerates exist to forward the
agenda of the Capitalist ruling class and do so by excluding news, voices
and stories that go against their interests.
The battle for media access takes on added importance as a result of the
struggles at the Pacifica Network. Pacifica, long a beacon for free speech
is currently fighting for it's own life. This could close access to a very
important venue for freedom of communication, making the need for "Free
Radio" even more important!
LRNA asks all people of conscience to step forward and demand that the
federal government and the NAB cease their attacks on Micro-Radio Stations
and follow through on regulatory changes that will provide for democratic
access to the airwaves.
Speakers on this as well as on other topics are available.
