NYPD and FDNY Make Effort to Keep AM in Cars |
This week the NYPD and FDNY called on Senator Schumer to ensure passage of the AM for Every Vehicle Act. We encourage Colorado stations to keep the information flowing by running these messages as frequently as possible.
You can also reach out to the few Colorado Congressional leaders who have not expressed their support for Colorado’s emergency alert network of AM radio stations. They include:
Congressman Crow
Congresswoman DeGette
Congressman Lopez
Please contact their offices and reach out to them through social media to ask for their support in keeping Coloradans safe and informed during wildfires, blizzards and tornados. Contact the CBA offices if you need contact information for any of these offices.
If you’re not running the AM for Every Vehicle messages please start today.

Colorado voters approved the paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program in 2020. FAMLI ensures Colorado workers have access to paid leave to take care of themselves or their family during life circumstances that pull them away from their jobs, so workers don’t have to choose between earning a paycheck and taking care of their families.
This is a Radio campaign only.
