Why we love our Commit to Community Radio supporters
Wow.
If there is one word to sum up the response we’ve had from supporters of Commit to Community Radio so far, it’s… wow.
It’s obvious that listeners, subscribers and supporters of community radio are a committed bunch.
But just how committed should surprise and embolden everyone who has signed up to call on Canberra to lock in our #digitalfuture
Right now the campaign is fast approaching 35,000 campaign supporters, all which have joined in a matter of weeks.
On our recent national day of action alone, some 20,000 supporters joined the campaign within 24 hours.
These results alone are testament to the great work of supporters for spreading the word, and a credit to the staff and volunteers from community radio stations across the country for lighting up the airwaves.
Support from listeners is one thing but for real success we need Canberra to heed our calls to reverse the $1.4 million shortfall in the upcoming May budget.
And that’s where supporters should really feel proud, because so far more than 7600 people have sent messages telling Senator Conroy that digital services are too important to go off air.
Another 7500 messages have been sent to a whopping 140 local MPs.
These results are echoed on Facebook, where we’ve received more than 4100 likes.
Tomorrow there will be still more for everyone to do. We need to keep spreading the word that Canberra must lock in our digital services.
But today, take a moment to pat yourself on the back for the incredible support you’ve already lent to secure a #digitalfuture
You’ve done community radio proud.
