The Mendocino Environmental Center has a long history of working for environmental and social justice issues.
They have given support, organization, office space, computers, insurance, a photocopier, fax, e-mail, message phone and a mailing address for many local and regional activists, organizations, campaigns and issues.
The center works to maintain a close rapport with local watershed and direct action groups concerned with forest issues.
KMEC 105.1 FMLP is part of the Mendocino Environmental Center. The low power radio station came about in 2002 when it was announced that the FCC was going to be issuing a number of low power radio licenses.
KMEC broadcasts programming that reflects the mission statement of the center, offering a wide variety of local environmental, political and music programming, with news and information programs from Pacifica, Al Jazeera, Free Speech Radio Network and more. The station brings the programming to the community without any major funding sources, just the support of their community.
KMEC now has a global voice, streaming live on the Web at www.kmecradio.org. Archived local programs are also available there.
