Forward Radio was well represented at the 2023 Grassroots Radio Conference in Charleston, WV Oct. 20-22 (https://www.2023grassrootsradioconference.com/) On this week's Access Hour, we begin the roll-out of some of the highlights from the conference, this week featuring the keynote address given by Amy Goodman on the morning of October 21st. Amy Goodman co-founded Democracy Now! as an alternative to what she and others perceived as an insular and ineffective mainstream press that was beholden to corporate sponsors. Goodman anchors the Democracy Now! daily one-hour broadcast and is also the program's executive producer. Under her leadership, the show became the fastest growing independent news source in the United States, boasting syndication on more than 750 radio and television stations by the first decade of the 21st century. Goodman's investigative journalism in East Timor and Nigeria earned her the 2008 Right Livelihood Award, an award often referred to as an alternative Nobel Prize, marking the first time a journalist had been so honored. In 2016 her coverage of protests against construction of a pipeline in North Dakota led to a criminal trespass charge, after state prosecutors claimed that she “was not acting as a journalist.” The trespass charge was soon dropped, but Goodman then was accused of rioting. The case was dismissed by a judge.​ She coauthored the best-selling books The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media That Love Them (2004); Static: Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders, and the People Who Fight Back (2006); Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times (2008); and Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America (2016).

Also on this show, a quick update on the city-owned nuclear weapons parts plant going up in Kansas City, Missouri.  How interesting that a financial services company called Oppenheimer is helping with the financing of a nuclear bomb plant!

"How would this country be different if there was community radio in every one of our towns." Brandy Doyle - Policy Director with the Prometheus Radio Project. The July 20, 2011 edition of Tell Somebody featured a conversation about The Prometheus Radio Project.  With a successful decision in Prometheus v FCC, passage of LPFM legislation and numerous 'barn-raisings' of new community radio stations, when Jim Hightower says "people who say it can't be done should get out of the way of the people who are doing it" he could well be talking about The Prometheus Radio Project.

A life-long human rights activist and people's lawyer in Greenville, SC, Nwangaza is the founder/coordinator of the Afrikan-American Institute for Policy Studies & Planning and Malcolm X Grassroots Movement for Self-Determination, a current representative on the Pacifica Radio Affiliates Board, past national chairperson of the Jericho Movement and ran for U.S. Senate in 2004 as a Green Party candidate.Nwangaza learned the power of radio as an organizing tool early in life from her parents who worked in international evangelical radio broadcasting. During her early years as a civil rights activist she dedicated herself to the betterment of her community and the oppressed in general. As an established activist and lawyer, with the assistance of her community and Prometheus Radio, she helped launch (June '07) WMXP, a low power community radio station. WMXP (95.5 fm), The Voice of the People, is Greenville's only non- commercial, community owned, operated, and funded radio station and is a project sponsored by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. The station gives a voice to the voiceless and a home to knowledge, community enrichment and social justice advocacy. Nwangaza's interest in forming the station was driven by her desire to use the power of radio in the interest of liberation of people for political purposes, in a culture of consciousness and resistance. As she puts it: "Media is a life-line, not a commodity.".This is a wide-ranging conversation that shows the power of low-cost, low-power FM community radio as a vehicle for community organizing and local artistic, cultural and polictical expression. Topics include a contextual discussion of racism in today's culture and the criminal in-justice system along with why the station was developed and examples of hands-on community use of radio as a tool in community empowerment and youth leadership development projects, WMXP programming practices and more.Recorded at the Grassroots Radio Conference, Portland, Oregon in July, 2008.Websites of interest: Prometheus Radio Project

The Prometheus Radio Project was founded by Pete Tridish, a micropower broadcaster from Philadelphia, to support the low power FM radio movement. This 3-person paid staff, with the help of many volunteers and supporters, won a very important court case in June 04. The decision of the court prevents the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) from allowing even greater consolidation of corporate control of the media. Prometheus also helps start new micro-radio stations in the US and internationally. Tridish speaks about these things in the first half of the show.Kate Coyer, a PhD student at the University of London and a grassroots radio activist in indymedia and Prometheus among other audio projects, speaks in the second half of the show about a bill in the US Congress to legalize more low power FM stations. This interview was conducted at the Grassroots Radio Conference in California.
