Holler to the Hood- Calls From Home
Prisoners, Families, Artists, Friends, Community Radio and You.
Dear Friend,
On December 12th voices from rural and urban communities will come together though the airwaves to speak to the incarcerated of our country and to educate the public about the effects of the growing prison industry in the United States.
Holler to the Hood, an Appalachia-based human rights media project, is producing Calls >From Home , a special holiday radio call-in show that broadcasts greetings from families of prisoners live on the air. After the program is recorded on December 12 th it will be offered free of charge for re-broadcast to radio stations across the country. We are asking you to suggest stations for us to approach, reach out to family members who might want to participate, and help spread the word. Visit our website at www.appalshop.org/h2h/calls to see how you can help us.
Calls From Home will air on December 12th from 7-11pm (Eastern). We encourage you to call. The toll free number to call is 888-396-1208. You can learn more about Holler to the Hood and its other cultural activist projects visit www.appalshop.org/h2h
