Radio Raises Awareness for Fairness - Int'l day of racism
Raising awareness of social justice issues forces global "Day Tagging" and March 21st marks the very important International Day for the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination. The world Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC), has launched an audio campaign in recognition of the day and global community radio broadcasts against discrimination will be aired.
Tune in to AMARC's international Radio Voices Without Frontiers broadcast that is co-produced with affiliates from around the world to commemorate this UN International Day for the Elimination of all forms of Racism and Discrimination. The broadcasts will bring these issues to light through reports, poetry, music, current events, documentaries, analysis and discussions. Community radio stations worldwide will emit a cultural mix inclusive of the community radio spirit.
Programs will cover diverse topics such as:
Multiculturalism in Japan from radio FMYY in Japan, as well as an edition of Making Contact from the National Radio Project in the U.S. that speaks to members of the Black Panther party about torture by Police Officers decades ago.
