Just a few of the reasons you might have:

- you are a student or community listener who gets something from your local campus or community station that you can't find anywhere else;

- you believe in listener-supported radio as a principle, to keep balance in the media landscape;

- you value the mission of campus and community radio: creating good relevant local info and cultural content; providing public access to the airwaves; support for emerging and independent artists; training and networking for volunteers;

- your own career was supported or launched in the campus & community radio sector, and the NCRA was an important part of your early professional development;

- you are an emerging and/or independent artist who needs community-based radio to get you to the next level;

- you believe in public discourse, new ideas, democracy and human rights, local culture, user-generated media, and progressive thinking (for example, discussion of environmental issues, -- now a crucial mainstream concern -- has been happening on community radio since the 1960s);

- like so many Canadians, you hear yourself and your own community reflected on campus and community radio like nowhere else in the Canadian media;

- you belong to a community group or NGO that uses links with campus & community radio to carry out your mandate;

- you think someone should be there to answer when a campus or community station needs help;

- you want campus and community radio to have a national advocate.
