Save the Public Access Training Program
We are asking Mayor Seth Fleetwood and the Bellingham City Council to continue funding the Access Bellingham Training Program for Bellingham Public Access Television.
The Program provides cameras, gear and training for anyone in Bellingham who is interested in sharing their stories through video and television. The program allows many people to be involved in video and television who might not otherwise have access to cameras, computers and support.

Why is this important?
As a community we grow together by working together and sharing our stories. Through facilitation of a space that brings together a truly diverse group of Bellingham people to regularly learn, discuss and create together, we create a stronger community and a healthy city.
For the past 5 years this program has been growing and community producers have been making videos of the history, culture and events that make Bellingham unique. Due to budget cuts, including temporary cuts from COVID, the program is being eliminated. We believe this is short-sighted and the program should be allowed to continue to grow.
If you believe in local programming and giving everyone a voice, please consider signing this petition.
