To: Fort Bragg City Council and Mendocino County Board of Supervisors
We Need Community Access Television!
Our community access television facility in Fort Bragg, California is being threatened with closure! This vital public service, which builds and sustains civic engagement, must continue getting support from our local government in order to survive! We, the undersigned, petition the Fort Bragg City Council and the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors to continue to support and fund community access television on the Mendocino coast.
Why is this important?
Our Community Access Television facility, that has offered training to citizens to create programming since the 1970's, is threatened to close because of loss of funding. This vital media link in our geographically challenged county where citizens can view archived programs on the internet and get training making TV media, might soon come to an end. Keeping this public media service operating to allow citizens to view local events and meetings should be a top priority of government agencies providing funding.
