National Call-In Day for Low Power Radio
Join people from across the country on MONDAY JULY 20 to tell Congress to open up the radio airwaves by passing the Local Community Radio Act. Free Press is working with Prometheus Radio to pass The Local Community Radio Act HR 1147/S 592 which would expand Low Power FM radio and open the airwaves up to potentially tens of thousands of new community radio stations across the country.
Steps for Taking Action:
1. Look up your Congressional Representative at Congress.org
2. Find out if they have already supported the Local Community Radio Act. See a list of cosponsors at govtrack.us and search for Bill number HR 1147.
3. Call the Congressional Switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Representative's office.
Then TAKE A PHOTOT of you calling your Rep. and mail it to expandlpfm@prometheusradio.org, we will add it to our website!
*If your representative is not a cosponsor tell him/her to support expanding Low Power FM all across the country and cosponsor the bill.
*If your representative is a cosponsor ask him/her to reach out to Congressional Leadership to let them know that this is an important priority around the county.
