In
the coming months we will have to change out and upgrade our old
recording equipment, provide additional help to our friends at CBC
Monitor, produce the pilot of what we hope will be a weekly
black-oriented audio and video news program, and pay some modest
travel expenses. We intend to be here for a while, and to expand our efforts into broadcasting, via internet and over the old-fashioned cable and radio waves, and participate in some good old-fashioned face-to-face non-internet organizing. The need for independent, nonpartisan adversarial journalism isn't going away, and neither will we. Please help us stay out here.
