DESCRIPTION:NO MORE CLEAR CHANNELS! STOP THE FCC MEDIA GIVEAWAY\n\nTHURSDAY, MAY 29, 5 
 PM RALLY\nClear Channel/KMEL Offices, 340 Townsend Street (between 4th and 
 5th Streets), San Francisco\n\nThe FCC is poised to approve the most 
 dramatic changes to media ownership regulations in decades. Leading the 
 charge is FCC Chairman Michael Powell, Colin Powell’s son, who 
 essentially declared war on diversity in media at the same time that his 
 father was spearheading the war against Iraq.\n\nThe Thursday before the 
 June 2 FCC vote, media activists and concerned citizens will protest at 
 Clear Channel radio stations throughout the United States with the message: 
 No More Clear Channels! Stop the FCC Media Giveaway!\n\nClear Channel 
 Communications is the poster child of everything that’s wrong with media 
 deregulation. With more than 1200 radio stations nationwide, Clear Channel 
 is not only the world’s largest radio broadcaster, it’s also the 
 world’s largest concert promoter and billboard advertising firm. Clear 
 Channel promotes a cookie-cutter style radio that has radio stations 
 throughout the country seemingly playing the same seven songs. It shuts out 
 independent artists and eliminates local programming and local jobs, The 
 company also uses its stations to promote its right-wing political agenda: 
 Clear Channel has sponsored several pro-war rallies since the beginning of 
 the war against Iraq. In San Francisco, Clear Channel station KMEL fired 
 popular public affairs director Davey D after he invited anti-war 
 Congresswoman Barbara Lee to speak on a KMEL public affairs 
 show.\n\nLET’S SEND A MESSAGE TO THE FCC AND CONGRESS BEFORE THE VOTE ON 
 MEDIA DEREGULATION: NO TO CLEAR CHANNEL RADIO AND THE MEDIA 
 MONOPOLY!\n\nSponsored by Media Alliance, Youth Media Council, Global 
 Exchange, CodePink, and others. For more information, 415-575-5555,
