Get Your Local National Public Radio Station to Air Landmines
Debate

On, Monday, April 29, National Public Radio's show "Justice Talking" (with approx. 200,000 listeners) will air a one hour debate on U.S. landmine policy between U.S. Campaign to Ban Landmines Coordinator Gina Coplon-Newfield and Navy Counsel Colonel Guy Roberts. This will bring terrific visibility to the campaign and the issue!

Check www.justicetalking.org/web/tunein.asp and scroll to the bottom of the page to see if your area has one of the 30 or so local stations around the country that regularly airs "Justice Talking." If so, mark your calendar and tell your friends.

If not, pleae contact your local NPR station and ask them to run it.

Major cities that do NOT typically air the show include Boston, San Francisco, LA, Miami, Washington DC, New York, Minneapolis, and Chicago. You can tell them that given that we expect the Bush Administration to come out with new US landmine policies soon, now is an important time to increase the public dialogue on this issue, and thus to play the show for their listeners.
