Building a Network, One Station at a Time

Imagine what you could do with a radio station.  Now imagine what we can do with one thousand radio stations!

We have an uprecedented opportunity to support our more than 800,000 members through the process of starting radio stations all over the country," said ColorOfChange Executive Director Rashad Robinson. "Our partnership with Prometheus will allow us to broadcast our messages to an even broader audience and mobilize our communities to action."

We are seeking partners to help local groups get ready and apply for licenses.  These "anchor partners" will provide regular hand-holding support for applicants in your region or area of interest.We will suggest groups based on your interests (LGBT centers, groups in South Florida, for example) and/or you can recruit groups.  We will provide all the materials you would need and ongoing training and support to you.

Your organization would provide a person (staff, intern, dedicated volunteer) who would do regular check ins, help groups move through a checklist to apply, and review their application.  Basically, you provide a knowledgeable,consistent friend to these groups - much like a mentor.

It takes about 1 hour a week per group to support them.  So giving 10 hours
a week, you can support about 10 groups. We already have a number of groups
signed up - and looking for more.
