Coalición de Derechos Humanos - End Hate Radio in Tucson!

Dear Derechos Humanos ally,

As we told you in yesterday's post, we have begun a campaign to end hate radio here in Tucson. In less than 24 hours since we sent out this alert, many of you have stepped up and joined us in this struggle.

So far, the following previously listed sponsors have informed us of their intention to immediately withdraw their support of 104.1 FM:

Main Gate Square
Patio Pools & Spa
The Auto Body Shop
Advanced Recon
Aung Foot Health Clinics
Sol Cars
The Wildcat House

Interestingly, many of them were not even aware that their "package" deal with Journal Broadcasting Group meant advertising on 104.1 FM, and most were not aware of what they were supporting, and would not choose to support intolerance.

In addition, the following companies have expressed concern about this issue, and have assured us that they will be looking into the matter immediately:

Allstate Insurance
State Farm Insurance
Maloney's Tavern
Axiom Drafting and Design

On July 24, 2008, the following businesses were announced on the Jon Justice Show as being supporters, and were thanked for their patronage. This is, of course, the right of business owners-- we feel, however, that the community has a right to this information so they can make their own decisions regarding their patronage of businesses that support 104.1 FM.

El Parador Restaurant
Gibson Power Washing
Integrity First Lending
Buena Vista Windows
Integrity Automotive
Progressive Plumbing

Thus far, 104.1 FM has removed the listing of their sponsors from their website, and the YouTube Webisodes of the Jon Justice show were removed, particularly the offensive one that some of the sample letters below refer to. They have been reposted at the following links:

Webisode #4. or Webisode #5. We invite you to judge the content for yourself.

Join us in this effort to rid the Tucson community of the intolerance and xenophobia that is promoted on the local radio station, 104.1 FM. Contact any of the businesses listed below to encourage that they withdraw their support of hate radio. We have also provided a few sample letters that we invite you to use as samples in drafting your letters to sponsors.

In Solidarity,

Coalición de Derechos Humanos
