Access Hour | Building Coalitions | Carla Wallace | 4-29-26

Carla Wallace, co-founder of LSURJ (Louisville Standing Up for Racial Justice) and of Louisville's Fairness Campaign, as well as inductee into the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame, was the featured speaker at Forward Radio's 9th Anniversary Celebration. She spoke on building coalitions in an era of encroaching authoritarianism and finding areas of commonality among diverse groups of people and organizations. Following her talk were brief remarks made by Ruth Newman, general manager of Forward Radio, promoting what she's calling CollaboRadio, which asks nonprofits and other groups to make use of community radio's shared communications platform to reach out into the community to help synchronize and expand grassroots efforts to resist inhumane, unethical acts and to strengthen community ties.
