Vietnam Veterans Radio Network

By VVAW

VVRN began "transmitting from liberated territory (VVAW Firebase KC), behind the lines of hypocrisy and revisionism (Missouri Country)" in July of 1989: within eighteen months VVRN was being transmitted from community, university, and non-commercial radio stations in the U.S., Canada, and Europe; and now, VVRN is being transmitted around the world via Radio For Peace International (RFPI).

Dedicated to Peace and Justice, RFPI is the only station of this kind in the world... and independent, non-commercial, and world-wide shortwave radio station broadcasting (since 1987) to the global community from the campus of the University of Peace (created by the United Nations) in Santa Ana, Costa Rica. RFPI's programming (English, Spanish, German and more to be added) covers a wide range of topics, including: Conflict resolution; peace education; personal growth and development; environmental issues; world hunger; social justice; and human rights. The following are a few examples of RFPI programs:

• New Dimensions Radio features interviews with the foremost thinkers, social innovators, spiritual teachers and visionaries of our time.
• Amnesty International Reports monthly on its investigations of human rights abuses throughout the world, and conducts an "Urgent Action Campaign".
• Earthcare encourages participation in healing the planet by presenting inspiring examples and practical information.
• WINGS, the Women's International News Gathering Service, provides programs by and about women.
• World Citizen's Hour is a weekly open phone forum.
