It's been eight years since community groups have had a chance to find a place on the air through low power FM, and that's eight years too long. There's legislation to solve this, and give more places on the air for these stations. But time is running out, and we need your help!

The bill is the Local Community Radio Act (HR 2802), and the text of it can be found here. Congress is in recess in August, so see if you can get in touch with your representative to get them on board the bill. Don't know if they're already on it? The list of co-sponsors is here. Don't know who represents you in Congress? You can find that on the House website by clicking here. Sometimes, they ask for the +4 on your zip code. That can be found here.

So now you know your congressperson! What's next? Call their office and tell them you want them to support HR 2802, the Local Community Radio Act. Tell them why community radio is vital to our communities! Or ask who their telecom staffer is, and email them directly. Their emails are usually just their first and last name - as in jane/john.doe_at_mail.house.gov. Better yet, set up a meeting with them in August in your nearest district office. More info on those can be found on their website, or here.

So join the fight! The time is now to win the battle for community radio! Below are the tools you'll need to get the right information. Put your hands on the radio, people!
