Do you have 60 seconds?
Help mobilize thousands for justice in the South!
December 6, 2005

60 seconds is all it takes to pick up the phone, call your favorite radio show, and make a shout out that lets thousands of Hurricane Katrina survivors know how to get involved in actions to demand their right to return home and rebuild.

The People's Hurricane Relief Fund and Oversight Coalition (PHRF) and the Mississippi Distress Relief Coalition are sponsoring an unprecedented 3 days of education, strategy, action and culture for thousands of displaced storm survivors December 8-10th. The displacement and poverty of so many of our sisters and brothers from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama makes them hard to locate and mobilize for action to demand their rights to real relief, to return home and to rebuild.

That's where you come in. All you have to do is:

• Use the list below to locate a radio show with live call-ins in your area

• Call this Monday-Thursday (12/5-8) and say you'd like to make an on- air comment or a shout out

• 3. When it's your turn to speak, say:

  Hi! My name is __________, and I want to make a shout out/comment to all the Hurricane survivors taking action to demand the right to return to and rebuild their homes. Thousands of storm survivors and grassroots organizations are coming together to strategize for real relief on December 8th and 9th in Jackson, Mississippi, and marching for the right to return and rebuild on December 10th in New Orleans.

  Get on the bus and come on down to demand justice!

  For the details on where and when, holler at your folks at 1-888-310- PHRF (7473)!

• When you're done, send an email to: info@youthmediacouncil.org if you can, to help us keep count of how many calls went out. Make time to fight poverty and racism in the South. 60 seconds is all it takes!
