The New York City Council voted on May 10th to "Keep it Local." The full Council unanimously called on the U.S. Congress NOT to pass the draconian new telecom bill that seeks to strip local municipalities of their authority over cable franchising and to limit funding and channel capacity for Public, Educational, and Government (PEG) stations.
This is a HUGE victory and sends a powerful message in support of community media and local democracy all across the country!!
