Support Alternative Journalism in Sacramento by Helping BPM

To all of you who appreciate Because People Matter (BPM) and the chance to get progressive info to people still caught in the corporate media net:

Ever thought of being a citizen journalist? (Think of the POWER!)

It’s now time for new hands and minds and hearts to add their energies to the process of producing BPM. Some of us oldtimers—despite the fun and satisfaction we’ve had doing this little paper—are needing to move on to different endeavors.
BPM has been the sort of project that called to itself what it needed at any given time, a sign, I think, that the paper fills a real need.

As I write, there are already some new arrivals joining with BPM regulars to do the paper. But they need help.

If BPM is to continue, substantial volunteer energies are needed. Five or so people need to come forward—to join the editorial board, to track finances, to coordinate volunteers, to help with distribution and stands.

The tasks are not difficult, huge or onerous. And more often sporadic—say once every two months usually—rather than constant.

A clear working framework exists to plug into. BPM just needs a few people who treasure a strong and healthy community paper and who can and want to commit to being part of the core group.

Maybe you’ve retired. Or maybe (though I hope not) the economy has retired you. Well, maybe it’s time to try something new.

If you have any desire at all to be part of making BPM happen, please come to an April 8 meeting and hear about the process and meet the folks working on the paper now.

Your presence will NOT be considered a commitment!

Wednesday, April 8, 7pm at 909 12th St. in the conference room. Cookies will be served!

Or contact bpmnews [at] nicetechnology.com

Hope to see you April 8!
