Bringing equity to the airwaves one member at a time

The Women’s Radio Collective formed in January of 2009 at CJAM 99.1 FM. Our mandate is to attract, train and retain female volunteers to create gender equity in campus-community radio. We offer opportunities for women to learn and develop broadcasting skills to produce their own alternative media. The collective fosters female empowerment on and off the airwaves, and encourages members to assert their feminist perspectives.

Genesis for July 22nd, 2009

Tune into CJAM-FM tonight for a special episode of Making Contact starting at 8:30 PM. We'll be listening to a program called "The Intimate Ecology of Motherhood". Here's the description, taken from Making Contact's website.

"Ecologist, author, and cancer survivor, Sandra Steingraber is an internationally recognized expert on the environmental links to reproductive health. Her book, Living Downstream, presents cancer as a human rights issue; her latest book, Having Faith, explores the intimate ecology of motherhood.

On this Women's Desk edition of Making Contact, we'll hear Steingraber's speech at the Women's Environmental Health and Justice Bay Area Summit in San Francisco in October of 2003."

This is a facinating and eye-opening episode about breastfeeding and the health of women and their children. If you can't tune in live, be sure to download it via CJAM's online archives.
