The
9th Annual Homelessness Marathon 14-hour national radio broadcast will kickoff at 7:00 PM [Eastern Time] this evening (Wednesday, February 15, 2006), hosted in Atlanta by 100,000 watt community radio station,
WRFG, and by the
Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless.
The 9th annual radio broadcast is being picked up by over 100 non-commercial radio stations across the nation and will also be streamed online as well.
fyi:This year (2006) people will be able to use the
Annual Homelessness Marathon blog to help in discussing what they hear during the broadcast.
It is hoped that other bloggers will be blogging about the broadcast, as well as the online discussions taking place on the above mentioned blog, on their own blogs and thus help spread the message within the blogosphere about homelessness, poverty and related matters.
Blog on!
