Thousand Kites “Calls From Home”
What: Calls From Home
When: December 11th from 3-11pm
How: Call our toll-free line at 888-396-1208
The Thousand Kites Team would like to ask for
your support for a special radio project called Calls from Home. Calls
from Home is a simple project. We open our recording studio's toll-free
number from 3-11pm (eastern time) on December 11th and record calls from
prisoner families and supporters from across the country.
We then
broadcast the program on over 120 radio stations across the country and
bring hundreds of voices (people singing songs, reading poems, and
speaking from the heart) to hundreds of thousands of prisoners. We need
your help in spreading the word and making the program as strong as
possible. Here is how you can help us.
– Call in to the show on
Dec. 11th from 3-11pm eastern time. Call toll-free at 888-396-1208 and the
Thousand Kites team will be there to take your call. We usually just say
"Caller, you're on the air, whom would you like to send a message to
tonight?"
– If you want to call a message in right now you can
call our answering machine at 877-518-0606.
– Spread the word to
other people. Please pass this on and ask other folks to get involved.
–
After the show is recorded we put it up for free downloads. Download it
and get it played our your local community radio station, play a section
at a meeting, get it played at a church, class, or even in a prison and
hold a discussion about incarceration in the United
States.
Happy Holidays,
Thousand Kites Team
