Early this summer, organizers of illvox.org want to launch a monthly audio project/podcast to share the untold stories of people of color organizing from the grassroots and fighting for a new world. We need your help!

Why do this? The voices of people of color have been historically marginalized in large and small political movements. This sort of project gives a chance to agitate around, educate about and preserve our ideas, vision and history. Youth and those not exposed to these ideas are out there checking out podcasts and other forms of new media, and it is time for us to be out there too.

To make this project happen, much help from you is needed!

• Do you have recordings that might be of use? Illvox.org is seeking audio from actions, lectures, events, etc. that cover issues of relevance to people of color and matters related to anti-authoritarian social/political perspectives.
• Would you record stuff in your area for use? Using a basic recorder and microphone, you can capture the sound of a movement and help us tell our own stories instead of having the mainstream media try to do it for us.
• Do you have skills in the area of audio production? Editing, voicing and creativity are all needed.
• Got any ideas for a name?

This will be a once-a-month project, so it does not need to take up lots of your time. This project will be completely free, so unfortunately contributors of content won’t be paid. This project will not happen without you. Please visit www.illvox.org/contact/ to get in touch and help.
