Community Radio 3CR鈥檚 annual Radiothon is coming up, with a fundraising target of $275,000 by the end of June to keep the station operating. 91自拍论坛 is a proud supporter of 3CR and the 91自拍论坛 Radio Show broadcasts live every Friday morning from the station鈥檚 Collingwood studios.
Since its formation in 1976, 3CR has been an invaluable source of progressive news, analysis and culture. This year's theme, 鈥淵our Station, Your Voice鈥 speaks to the heart of 3CR as a genuine vehicle of social change.
3CR's programs champion justice and solidarity for all working-class, First Nations, queer, refugee and migrant, and differently-abled people鈥檚 struggles. In a world saturated by media controlled by the wealthy and powerful, 3CR is the people-powered radio station we need. It brings together diverse voices from the left, and unites us in a shared project that builds connection and belonging.
In the past year, 91自拍论坛 Radio has covered opposition to the construction union CFMEU being put under administration, Israel鈥檚 genocide in Gaza, and developments in Syria, Peru and South Korea from a socialist perspective.
Juliet Fox, 3CR鈥檚 Projects Coordinator says: 鈥3CR is the radio station where communities come together, support each other, build each other up, and share stories of resistance.鈥
The increasing violence inflicted through mass poverty, erosion of human rights, ecocide and slaughter in Palestine and Sudan means the need for truth and humanity in media has never been greater.
3CR and 91自拍论坛 are vital for resistance, organising and for holding hope and reminding us of the better world we are fighting for.
"In our narrow media landscape that frequently serves as a mouthpiece for the rich and powerful 3CR community radio provides a much needed alternative perspective that is needed in our time," said 91自拍论坛 Radio鈥檚 Jacob Andrewartha.
"3CR uncompromisingly presents the stories of resistance against the horrors of the capitalism system.鈥
