is VERY proud to announce the creation of a charity program and Not For Profit organization, and an upcoming Podcast!
'Liberadio'
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=PFYZK6STY6RSE
A program created by the community of Tompkins and Tioga counties in New York State, and in conjunction with local organizations. To serve the people of these areas we have formed a charitable company for people in-crisis, recovering, or at risk from trauma stemming from the epidemic of homelessness, incarceration transition & re-entry, mental health & addiction issues, and death related to these struggles.
To give these people valuable, practical skills, that can be therapeutic and healing in a cathartic, and self-esteem/self-value building way. Giving useful knowledge that helps a sense of agency, in a healthy, safe, legal, sober environment doing something that's also recreational to people who otherwise have no joy or laughter in their day to day survival with crushing traumatic stress and tragedy.
With the knowledge base of so many creative professionals in a number of professional creative fields, this isn't just giving access to equipment and software. This is giving instruction on how to do this yourself, making way for oppotunities people didn't even know they can create for themselves.
Get involved and take action! Any time donated teaching or instructing you can join us helping people desperately in need of something joyful, and to be heard. We will match each hour you spend donating time with an hour of our professional services including recording, video production, mixing, mastering, writing/editing, and more. With enough training and knowledge people can utilize these things to monetize and create income for themselves and in the community, and if willing - continue with our training, and have a skillset that is valuable enough to offer an apprenticeship and wage, creating jobs in the community.
We need your help! First and foremost to file with the State of New York to become an official Not For Profit organization and have access to writing grant proposals and receiving grants, donations and more with the necessary legal provisions and financial amnesty.
With your pledges, donations of equipment, time, or just spreading the word about us helps us buyild this into something truly magnificent, and raise awareness and more support.
Access to and training in professional multimedia production studios, learning from a huge list of subjects from Visual Arts, Painting, Illustration, Ceramics & Pottery, Graphic Design, Silkscreen & Printed Apparel-
To Video and Audio Editing, Broadcast for Streaming, Sound Effects Production (Foley), Audio Engineering, Recording, Mixing and Mastering Music, Creative Writing, Storytelling, DJing, and so much more!
From the depths of our hearts thank you all for your pledges and donations and support!
ANNOUNCEMENT, UPCOMING PODCAST AUGUST!
Starting out our summer campaign, we are launching a flagship podcast series, "Liberadio - Voices of the Silenced"; a program that puts the microphone in front of people who typically don't have a voice, or who feel silenced, forgotten, and without help.
Invisible to others because they live on the fringes of society and what they are going through is largely misunderstood.
Co-created and hosted by Ian Michael of Liquid Binary Studios & Richard Rivera, Associate Director of Cornell's Prison Education Program (CPEP) and Coordinator for " OAR- Oppotunities, Alternatives, and Resources", a Tompkins County Not For Profit organization assisting incarcerated people receive things like bail, assistance with re-entry and transition back into life, sober housing, attorneys, jobs, education and much more.
This podcast aims to bring the mic to people that haven't been listened to before. Stay tuned and we will keep you posted on the upcoming debut episode of "Liberadio - Voices of the Silenced".
Bless you all and thank you for taking the time to check this all out!
Live, Love, Last,
