July's Critical Mass Radio Network broadcast focused on the theme of freedom/libertad. The broadcast aired Saturday, July 30th, between noon and midnight, Pacific time, at www.criticalmassradio.net—programs aired all day from across the U.S. and Mexico.

Highlights included Mexico's Radio Zapote joining the coordinated broadcast for the first time this month. New York City's August Sound Coalition reclaimed "the idea of freedom from the purveyors of freedom fries and proponents of the free market" by taking a different look at freedom in its "many-sided glory," including freedom on the internet and open source software; a re-enactment of the freedom claimed in the streets of Paris during the student riots of 1968; a group of "mentally ill" people talking about the pursuit of freedom from drug dependency and the psychiatric system; and a former Guantanamo detainee talking about his incarceration and freedom. All that plus weird sound art and good music. Listen
