More stories from MN Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: Help Support Community Radio in Minnesota!] To: aminaf@xxxxx Here it is: To Whom It May Concern: In Minneapolis and St. Paul, the demographics have changed within the past 10 years to include people and cultures from countries with unique traditions and languages. It is also because these "New Americans" have chosen the Twin Cities that they also have a unique opportunity to be exposed to and engaged with community radio. They can hear their voices on community radio, share stories about new and old experiences and maintain ties with their homeland. Whether they be Hmong, Vietnamese, Somali, Ethiopian or from Oromiyaa, they can be civically engaged because the tenets and principles of community radio is vibrant here. This was not so just a few years ago; thirty years ago to be exact. Community radio should be allowed to grow and expand, especially LPFM, because it provides open access to public airwaves. Wasn't this the original intention of the Federal Communications Commission?
