Radio Update:  Sit-In for Solidarity and Community Matters Broadcast

After extensive circulation over social media and through local news coverage, the petition addressing a pattern of derogatory and racist commentary on Island 98.5 FM has garnered enough attention to persuade Clear Channel Media and Entertainment to host a "Community Matters" session featuring petition writer Kat Lobendahn, along with community leaders Joakim "Jojo" Peter of COFACAN and Dr. Sheldon Riklon of the Micronesian Health Advisory Coalition.  

The session will be recorded on Thursday, June 5 at the Clear Channel Headquarters in Iwilei at 10:30 a.m., and will be broadcast on all seven Honolulu Clear Channel stations at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 8.  

COFA community members and allies can show their support and solidarity with the panel speakers by going to Clear Channel Headquarters, 650 Iwilei Road, Honolulu, HI 96817, at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday.  A peaceful sit-in will help to illustrate the importance of addressing this issue to a major media entity in Hawai'i.

What:  Peaceful Sit-in for Solidarity
Where: Clear Channel Headquarters at 650 Iwilei Road, Honolulu, HI 96817
When:  Thursday, June 5, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.
Why:  To support ending derogatory and dehumanizing attitudes on the airwaves

Also: Tune in at 7 a.m. on Sunday, June 8 to any Clear Channel Hawai'i station (92.3 FM KSSK, 93.9 FM KHJZ, 98.5 FM KDNN, 99.1 HD KDNN, 101.9 FM KUCD, 830 AM KHVH, and 990 AM KIKI) to hear the "Community Matters" session featuring Kat Lobendahn, Joakim Peter and Dr. Sheldon Riklon.

Additional media coverage on the petition can be found on The Fourth Branch and the Hawai'i Independent websites.  The petition can be viewed and signed here.
