International Community Radio Taiwan -ICRT, Boycott Proposal

ICRT is the only English radio station sanctioned by the government of the Republic of China to broadcast in English on Taiwan.


Earlier this year ICRT began broadcasting advertisements advocating the R.O.C. government policy of foreign worker subjugation.

To add further insult to injury the commercial was done by the only Filipino female announcer, Emily David. This public service announcement was greatly demoralizing to her fellow countrymen and women as well as numerous foreign workers on Taiwan.

Despite repeated calls for a stop to the offensive material and a retraction, ICRT continues to promote the policy of the Republic of China to subjugate it's foreign worker population.
A Public Work Action has been proposed in the form of a boycott of ICRT, all it's media outlets and sponsors.
Your support is being sought to facilitate this measure.

I did notice a distinct lack of comments on this proposal not to mention an overwhelming show of support from nearly every group that has been asked.
The research is coming back overwhelmingly in support of this measure.
Unexpected I have to admit.
