the creation of a racially/nationally diverse collective of producers from various
community radio stations to develop ongoing nationally broadcast programs aimed
at promoting education and dialogue on: 1) issues of race and nationality and
their intersection with class and gender, both nationally and internationally;
and 2) empowerment efforts/campaigns by communities fighting these and related
forms of oppression. This may include national airing of extraordinary local
