[cma-l] CMA radio sanctuary campaign suggestion

Wed Jun 29 13:18:17 BST 2016

"are we not making a huge fuss about something that we at this level can
do absolutely nothing about in terms of a ensuring a positive outcome?"

I can't disagree strongly enough. The problem is the shocking and sickening
volume of racism that has been emboldened by the referendum - whichever way
you voted. So many people are feeling deeply vulnerable and scared right
now. The solution absolutely needs to be 'at this level' - at the
interpersonal and community level. Community radio is, *by definition,*
pro-social.

If anyone wants to include an Irish accent in an immigrant voices jingle,
let me know. :-)
