WFTE 90.3 FM: PEOPLE'S RADIO

WFTE is a grassroots coalition building a non-commercial, listener-supported, volunteer-operated community radio station for the area of Scranton, PA, and beyond, dedicated to the progressive values of social justice, economic justice, human rights, multiculturalism, environmentalism, freedom of expression, and democracy. WFTE shall aim to create and provide high quality, innovative and community-oriented programming serving communities, information, and ideas that are ignored, suppressed, overlooked, or underserved by the mainstream media.

WFTE is looking to extend its broadcasting range to the Binghamton area! This could be a vital tool in building social justice in our communities, as corporations continue to dominate the airwaves and pollute the public discourse. To get involved in making this a reality, e-mail maresi@wfte.org

To help out with donations to get our project on the air, e-mail info@wfte.org. And for updates and more information, visit www.wfte.org.

BPI endorses the WORLD MARCH FOR PEACE AND NONVIOLENCE (Oct.-Jan.2010)

Why?

.... because we can end world hunger with 10% of what is spent on arms.

.... because eliminating wars and violence means leaving human pre-history behind and taking a giant step forward in the evolution of our species.

.... because in this aspiration we are accompanied by the strength of the voices of hundreds of prior generations who suffered the consequences of war.

.... because a “world without wars” is an image that opens the future and seeks to become reality in every corner of the planet.
