Day of Agitation~Phone, Fax, and Email
Greetings MDR Community,
We thank you for your consistent effort in emailing the radio stations and broadcast companies during our Wednesday Days of Action and Agitation. Because of your efforts, we have begun conversations with radio station execs and have received written responses to your efforts. Let’s continue to DRIVE IT HOME!
We have two Wednesdays left in April and we are closer to our goal. Today and April 25th, we will add phone calls and faxes to our agitation strategy. Please check out the list of stations published in the Community Action category of our blog (www.mothersdayradio.com/blog4/). You will notice that we have added new stations, per your request, and have included the available telephone and fax numbers to many of the stations and broadcast companies. Remember to include the MDR Official Cover letter in your emails, also found in the Community Action category of our blog.
Please phone, fax, and email these companies with your request for their participation in one Day of Rest and Uplift on Saturday, May 12, 2007 of Mother’s Day weekend.
Mother’s Day Radio is calling for 24 hours of rest from music with misogynistic, sexually degrading, lyrical content. We request 24 hours of music that respectfully represents women. We are calling into accountability the recording industry, the broadcast industry, the listening community and consumers. We are not putting our efforts into blaming, but into holding the industry and ourselves accountable to creating needed, systemic change.
Remember, Mother’s Day Radio is a CALL TO ACTION by the community to make clear how we want women to be represented in Hip-Hop culture and to implement a strategic plan for attaining it. This is an action of cooperation with artists, providing them with an opportunity for the creative self-expression of love, worth and value in their particular medium.
Thank you, again, MDR Community. In order to maintain clear records of your outreach, please ”CC” info@mothersdayradio.com in your email agitations, as many of you have already been doing. We will be sure to follow up with those stations.
Thank You!
~Team MDR
