*Does your community need more independent media? Does our country need
more progressive media outlets? *

Thanks to national legislatio*n, we are facing **the biggest expansion of
community radio* <http://prometheusradio.org/start_a_station>* in US history
*, with stations soon to be available in most major cities where they can
reach up to half a million listeners.

*This is a historic chance for the progressive and social justice groups to
build nationwide media infrastructure to amplify our messages, mobilize our
communities, and build power. *

 *Community radio stations have been used to raise wages for farmworkers,
educate voters, and clean up toxic waste.  *These stations hold politicians
accountable, coordinate emergency response, and create on-air forums for
community debate.


This conference will provide you with everything you need to know to get on
air - all in one place at an affordable price!

Learn how to form a local coalition to start a radio station in your
community and stream online. Integrate multimedia, community engagement,
arts, and journalism into your station. Learn about public broadband and
community wireless.  Produce media, get fundraising support, and learn how

The keynote speaker is *Joe Torres*, co-author of *News for All the People:
**The Epic Story of Race and the American Media.*
