Hi there, Yes this week is the 3CR radiothon and so the SUWA show is asking people to call up and donate to the station to help keep us on the air. SUWA (Squatters and Unwaged Workers Airwaves) is on every Friday between 11am and noon. We have various prizes to give away on the show including prize packs made up of videos, CDs and books. This Friday we will also have interviews from a recent anti-globalisation demo in Perth. For those who haven't listened in a while SUWA has in the last year broadcast troublemaking news from australia and around the world and promoted most of the demonstrations, film nights and other events that have taken place amongst Melbourne's radical community. Whilst the show tries to focus on squatting and unwaged issues we also cover other areas of interest including workplace, feminist, environmentalist, queer and other issues. We tend to stick away from theorey instead focussing on and talking with people about how they are fighting back. In recent months we have amongst other things done the following- -Hosted a May Day special (on May 1st)with a live interview with people at the Melbourne demo and news from around the world. -Fielded calls before and after the show from people interested in squatting or already doing so and seeking advice. -Played interviews with anarchists involved in the a-16 demonstrations in the U.S. -Interviewed squatters from Sydney. -Attended unemployed rallies and interviewed those present. -Had a live cross from the Stolen Generations demonstration. -Helped find some squatters a new home by interviewing them about an upcoming eviction and asking people to call in empties. -Had on the show radicals and anarchists from England, Canada and Holland. -Interviewed activists from the Melbourne Uni coop and Melbourne Uni Student Housing squats. -Interviewed the guy who pied Wilson Tuckey. -Played commentaries from Mumia Abu Jamal and a radio documentary about his situation and U.S. demonstrations that have occurred in support of him -Played interviews with squatters from the Netherlands. -Interviewed green activists about water catchment, forest and other issues. -Attended Fairwear rallies and interviewed those present. -And loads more... Well hope I've convinced you all that the SUWA is worth supporting and hope to hear from you this Friday. If you need to get in touch before hand just email me at this address. Ta, Iain. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
