Hiatus is Over

    • Monday, Apr 9th    2-4 PM
    • Friday,   Apr 20th  1-3 PM
    • Monday, May 7th   2-4 PM

    • Friday,  Jun  22nd  8-10 PM  LIVE
Join us in the studio anytime you're available.  

Of course, if you'd like to actually be on air to discuss a particular issue, advance notice is recommended. You can 
  1. email us: advancemattapan@gmail.com
  2. tweet us @advancemattapan using #IwantOn, or
  3. leave a comment below
so we'll expect you.

Some of the topics already 'in the hopper?'
  • Re-districting: process and potential outcomes
  • Vote 2012:     "who's on first" and what's at stake
  • Mobilizing Mattapan: vision of an action network
  • Housing, Homes, and Foreclosures
  • "Three Strikes:" a boon for the prison industrial complex 
  • iAM Watch: updates from community-based organizations and neighborhood associations.
Again, these are just a few of the ideas that have already been tossed around in our editorial board meetings.  There's still time to weigh in.

In the meantime, watch Advance Mattapan
Mondays  @ 4 PM
Thursdays @ 9 AM
on BNNtv's community access channels--Comcast Ch. 23 and RCN Ch. 83.  If you don't have cable you can watch it online every Monday and Thursday at these times.

One way or another then, we hope you join us as we continue to look for ways to advance Mattapan.
