We’re interested in social justice advocates in areas like…

• Indigenous rights
• Community languages and identities
• Queer rights, incl. trans
• Feminism
• People with disabilities
• Anarchism
• Labour rights/unionism
• Privacy
• Software freedom
• Environmental activism
• Promotion of local food/social/(and of course) music communities

Do you do things in one or more of these areas either in community radio or in online spaces? Then awesome! You are exactly who this unconf is designed for. 🙂 Get along!

What kind of things might we talk about specifically?

• How does you build community?
• How does your community participate? What is the value of participation? (vs building a huge audience) DIY, maker ethic
• Podcasting all the things! What tech do you use? How do you distribute it, advertise it?
• “Social media”, Facebook and Twitter – is that enough? What are the potential pitfalls? How to do it well without being overwhelmed?
• Is “slacktivism” a real problem? How can it be translated into real-world actions?
• What are the specific constraints of radio? (constant, immediate, personal, timely) How do they become strengths?
• Copyright, free software, owning the network
• Radiothons – the original Kickstarters? Grassroots funding models
• Is community radio “between a rock and a hard place” – facing the legal framework of MSM (radio license, bound to defamation law etc) with only grassroots/community/volunteer financial and labor support
• Wrangling volunteers
• When is F2F important? (face to face)
