Regarding Kevin McGarry's post on the upcomming FCC hearings:
There will be several free public workshops in the Monterey Bay area this
week hosted by media-alliance. The first is tonight and I will be there to
check it out. There are only six of these hearings in the country and I am
lucky enough to live right next to the workshop location. Any
artist/activists in the bay area heading to these events? I would be more
than happy to offer a ride from Santa Cruz to Monterey, or a couch and wifi
if someone needs a place to crash.

Monterey, CA Hearing
Residents of Monterey and surrounding areas will have a chance to testify at
the FCC's upcoming hearing. Read the FCC's announcement, which includes
logistical details.
When: July 21, 6PM-10PM
Where: Monterey Conference Center, 1 Portola Plaza
Advance tickets will be distributed (free of charge)on Monday, July 19 from
6:00pm-8:00pm and Wednesday, July 21 from 7:00am-1:00pm at the Monterey
Conference Center Steinbeck Forum Terrace (at corner of Pacific St. & Del
Monte Ave.)
There will be preparatory meetings in Santa Cruz, Salinas, and Monterey in
advance of the hearing, organized by the Media Alliance.
These hearings are an extremely rare opportunity to tell the FCC about the
state of your local media, how well your needs are being served, and how you
feel about the increasing consolidation of media ownership. The FCC hears
from broadcasters' lobbyists and lawyers every day. Help make sure they hear
from the people on July 21!
