[grc] Artists For Vieques Fundraising Opportunity

[Tracy Rosenberg]

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know about an exciting opportunity to help rebuild
community radio in Puerto Rico, while raising money for your own stations.

Artists for Media Diversity, the Latino Public Radio Consortium and Media
Alliance have teamed up to re-launch *Artists for Vieques
<https://a4md.org/digital-albums/artists-for-vieques>* – a 20 song
compilation featuring Willie Nelson, Los Lonely Boys, Calle 13, Zoraida
Santiago, Rei Ortiz, Los Bandidos Cosmicos and much more.

*Artists for Vieques* was originally compiled to support the construction
of *Radio Vieques <http://www.radiovieques.net/>* (WVQR) and is now being
re-released after Hurricane Maria devastated the island.


​

You can sample some of the beautiful music on
<https://a4md.org/we-all-rise-together/#artists-for-vieques-section>*Artists

This project is distributed via a unique profit-sharing model that combines
charitable relief with support for your organization. 25% of the proceeds
return to you, so you can do good while bringing in additional financial
support for your station or organization. *Your audience will be getting a
lovely musical gift and supporting Puerto Rican relief – while supporting
you.*

You can read about the project in Radio World here.

The community albums are delivered as easy digital downloads - 20 songs for
$20 – so you can generate income with no packing or shipping hassles.

*We want you to join with us. Sign up **here <https://a4md.org/radio/>**as
a radio station partner. *

All you have to do is tell people about it!

We provide a packet of marketing materials for your use, including sample
web and email text, and FB and Twitter posts and images.

Artists for Media Diversity believes freedom of speech in the public
airwaves can only be truly free when it is not bound by constraints to
ensure the survival of the broadcast organization. As Artists for Media
Diversity co-founder and Earthday Networks Board Chair Gerald Torres puts
it; “*A4MD is a way in which the people themselves can not only take
control over one aspect of the media onslaught to which we are all subject,
but through which we can actively change the conversation and provide
support for the alternative voices that are out there and that continually
speak truth to power. We can be the amplifier and the power.”*

*Please come together with us to raise funds for Puerto Rico by signing up
as an  community partner organization here. <https://a4md.org/radio/>*

Peace and blessings this holidary season.

We hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to provid badly needed
help to Radio Vieques, share the music and raise some end of year funds for
your stations.
