You're Invited To Low Power Radio Day at the FCC --
5 Year Birthday Party For Real Community Radio!

(Please read this note to learn about an amazing opportunity to fight
for community radio in Washington, DC, February 8th, 2005! And forward
widely!)

On the morning of Tuesday, February 8th, 2005, the Federal
Communications Commission is inviting Low Power FM radio broadcasters
and their allies to attend an important meeting in Washington, DC.  We
worked hard to establish the service in 2000, and five years later, the
FCC wants to see how well these important news stations have survived
and thrived.  How can they make the service better? How can they help
your stations work better for you and your community?

Leading Low Power FM radio stations from across the country will testify
before Chairman Michael Powell, and other Commissioners and staff.
Everyone is invited -- so this is a great opportunity to make sure that
you can share your station's struggles and successes with the biggest
decisionmakers in radio.  Allies across the movement for a more
democratic media and longtime friends -- please help us make sure it
grows and thrives over the next five years.  Help us fight to bring
community radio to those who the FCC has left out.

To help make your trip to DC even more worthwhile, Prometheus will
organize a full day of workshops, trainings, and information sessions
for Monday, February 7th.  Prometheus staff, board, and some of the
best-informed experts on everything from underwriting to antennas will
be on hand, as we focus on building skills for advocacy, and planning
our campaigns for Low Power FM radio expansion.

That night, starting at 7pm, the fun begins, as we celebrate Low Power
FM radio's 5th birthday!  Stations from around the country will show
pictures, audio clips, and stories from their wonderful stations, as we
celebrate, and work together to bring community radio to every town that
needs it.

And before you go home, Prometheus will make sure that you get to meet
with your elected officials' offices in Congress and the Senate to
discuss the expansion of the Low Power FM radio service.

More details about these exciting few days, and an official announcement
from the FCC are forthcoming! Please let us know if you are coming, and
if you are interested in bringing photos, audio clips, program
schedules, flyers and posters, etcetera.

All events will be free, and Prometheus can help to find free housing
with sympathetic local radio advocates for those who need to minimize
their expenses -- but let us know as soon as possible if you need help
with housing.  We cannot guarantee free housing if you do not respond by
January 30th!

So, buy your plane tickets now, and we hope to see you:

Monday, February 7th:  10AM-4PM for the LPFM Training Day
Monday, February 7th:  7PM-10PM for the 5th Birthday of Low Power FM!
Tuesday, February 8th:  9:30AM-12:30PM for Low Power FM radio day at the FCC!
Tuesday, February 8th:  1PM-5PM for crucial visits to your legislative leaders!

To RSVP for any of these events, email or call Pete Tridish, at
petri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To organize legislative visits on Tuesday, or anytime over the next
weeks and months, email or call Hannah Sassaman,
at hannah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!

Many thanks!  See you in Washington!
