ABOUT US

technology & media education to fully participate in democracy in a

communities, connects us with our elected leaders, and provides an
important democratic forum.
The Alliance for Community Media New York is the NY

is a national not-for-profit organization with a mission to advance
democratic ideals by ensuring that people have access to electronic
media, and by promoting effective communication through community uses
of media. ACMNY is part of the Northeast region of the Alliance. ACM-NE

Vermont and Rhode Island.
