Victoria's uncensored voice

By Susan Price

MELBOURNE — Community radio 3CR is Victoria's truly uncensored voice.
Programs at 3CR give a public voice to progressive organisations and communities
which are excluded or marginalised by the establishment media.

Four hundred volunteers produce 24 hours of progressive radio every
week. Hundreds of community groups put their views on 3CR: indigenous people,
women, environmentalists, community language groups, trade unions, lesbian
and gay groups, alternative artists and musicians.

Readers of Green Left Weekly probably know about the Friday morning
program produced by the newspaper's supporters in Melbourne, Radio Resistance.
Many of the campaigns covered on this program are drawn from and contribute
to the breadth of coverage in each issue of Green Left Weekly.

3CR produces many programs which are broadcast nationally. Women
on the Line, Stick Together, the Radioactive Show, Accent of Women,
Earth Matters, Second Opinion, Global Voices, Lost in Science and community
radio's current affairs program Undercurrents cover issues of social
justice from a progressive perspective.

3CR is politically independent; that means it depends on the financial
support of its listeners and supporters. To help it stay alive and independent,
3CR is holding its 23rd annual radiothon this month. Beginning on June
7 and finishing June 20, this is an opportunity for people to support this
valuable source of uncensored news and views.

To donate to 3CR during the radiothon, phone (03) 9419 8377. Donations
over $2 are tax deductible.
