Want to remake the media landscape in the United States?

Media justice activists won a ten-year long campaign in December 2011 to pass the Local Community Radio Act. The new law mandates the government to expand the Low Power FM (LPFM) service, creating the potential for thousands of new community radio station licenses across the country, including availability for the first time in big cities!

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.
