On Friday, June 12th the way we watch television will change forever. This is the day that television stations across this country will switch from analog transmission to digital transmission. This change will affect millions in our community who currently watch free over-the-air television.
We need your help from Friday, June 12th through Monday, June 15th to assist affected community members. We need your help with staffing the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund’s DTV Command Center. This will be the only Command Center in the Metro Atlanta region. We need volunteers to help with answering the phones, providing online assistance and possibly transporting community members to retail stores to purchase their digital converter boxes.
Please sign up to volunteer at one of the many shifts here:
Location: Coalition for the Peoples’ Agenda
100 Auburn Avenue, Suite #102
Atlanta, GA 30303
Times: Friday, June 12th : 11 am – 8 pm (3 shifts)

We need your help with ensuring a smooth digital television for our community members. If you need more information, please contact Bernita Smith at Bernita {at}AtlantaDTV2009.com (404) 867-0066 or Kelli Persons at Kelli{at}AtlantaDTV2009.com (404) 840-4972. Visit our Atlanta DTV website at here.
Any contribution to helping folks make this transition will be appreciated, heck-bringing some baked goods over to the volunteers is a big help too!
Thank you very much.
