What Is Our Purpose
The purpose of the Outreach Committee is to reach out to individuals, community groups, elected officials and all communities interested in WBAI - to get the truth out about our radio station!

We are reaching out by borough and region to the public at large, elected officials, churches, community boards, block associations, and tenant organizations.

Our goal is to inform and mobilize the vast number of listeners who we know are opposed to the firings, bannings and potential corporate takeover of WBAI.

What Are We Currently Working On
We also are providing materials for all the branches of Concerned Friends including those in New York City, Westchester and Rockland Counties, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

We are taking part in teach-ins, meetings, daily vigils at the station, and leafleting at key locations. Some of the sub-committees you can join are:

We are working on the ongoing leafleting campaign for the Concerned Friends of WBAI.

Volunteers will attend community meetings, explain what Concerned Friends is all about and sign people up to join our group.

They will leaflet at subway stations, supermarkets and other locations suggested by our members.

 

We are contacting elected officials. We are organizing listeners by zip code to form groups that will meet with elected officials to inform them and garner their support for Resolution 1723. If you want to help out with this task, please contact Rosalie Hoffman.

We are working on printed materials for the Concerned Friends of WBAI, preparing a media kit and its elements, including a brochure, flyers, and information pages.

We are working doing the visuals for the Concerned Friends of WBAI. This subcommittee has produced a button, is working on caps and tee shirts, and makes banners, and other artwork for posters and masks used at our rallies and demonstrations.

We are contacting Internet people (with this web site!), if you'd like to help, contact webmaster@wbaiaction.org.

We are working on the contact list for the Concerned Friends of WBAI. This effort involves building a database of names who will receive updates and be mobilized to take part in demonstrations.

We are maintaining the 'phone tree' (if you've been called by either a human or recorded message, that was us!).

If you'd like to get involved in calling others to bring them into our struggle (you'd be surprised how many questions the listeners have these days these days - the gag rule isn't helping disseminate information), please contact phonetree@wbaiaction.org, or use the form to the left.

 

When and Where Do Meet
Our next meeting is Tuesday June 5, 6:30 PM, at 74 Trinity Place (between Rector & Thames Sts.), on the 2nd floor "The Parlour."

We will meet here each Tuesday through July. If you have questions or want to confirm a meeting time or place please call our hotline 800 825 0055, or email us outreach@wbaiaction.org
