YOUTH MEDIA COUNCIL

1) Act Now to Revoke Clear Channel’s license
2) Introducing the YMC’s Media Action Center
3) Join Us Friday for a Day of Community Outreach

Clear Channel wants a new 8-year license to use our music against us...

We have 4 months to stop them!

Act Now

Tell the FCC to Revoke 's Broadcast License

Clear Channel Communications is an explicitly anti-poor, anti-union, and pro-war media corporation making billions from our music on  and , and then using talk radio like  to promote racism, homophobia and bigotry that hurts us all. Clear Channel owns more than 1200 radio stations, sponsors pro-war rallies, censors progressive content, donates millions to the Republican Party, and bullied a West Oakland neighborhood to make room for massive billboards.

We think the Bay Area deserves better. From August to November 2005, join thousands of youth, people of color, women, artists, parents and progressives in the UNPLUG CLEAR CHANNEL campaign to protect our public airwaves. Don’t let Clear Channel use our music against us. Pull the plug on corporate radio and tell the FCC to hold Clear Channel accountable, or revoke their broadcast license.

...and while you're at it check out the new YOUTH MEDIA COUNCIL media action center

The YOUTH MEDIA COUNCIL announces its Media Action Center... a clearinghouse for media justice fights and a resource for youth, educators, media activists and marginalized communities who understand that challenging corporate media and creating alternatives are critical steps in the fight for a more just society.

UPDATE: Over the past several weeks the YMC has been working hard to launch this exciting new site. On July 11th, the Youth Media Council and Media Alliance sent out our first campaign action alert demanding that Clear Channel fire bigoted producer Rick Delgado from Wild 94.9. With your help we sent more than 150 letters to CC execs, forcing them to respond. In the coming months, we will renew the call for Clear Channel to act on listeners' demands and stop using our public airwaves to promote racism.

In the meantime, take action by signing a postcard to the FCC and sign up for Action Alerts:
