It is Time Alert ! An Appeal for Volunteer Contribution to PMARC for Dalits Media Advocacy! Dear Friends Greetings from PMARC! It is very alerting situation before PMARC & whole initiative of “Dalits Media Advocacy” which compelled us to write you all for your voluntarily contribution. Saving Dalits Media Advocacy initiative is our collective responsibility. PMARC is only platform which has initiative Dalit Media Advocacy exclusively. We are appealing you all and each one personally, individually & organizationally for volunteer support/ contribution of funds to Peoples Media Advocacy & Resources Centre- PMARC as it is suffering acute crises of resources. You all may know that since its inception on 2007, PMARC is working fully as volunteer organization without any outside support or project. Now we are overburdened with responsibility and huge debt which is compelling us to step down all our Dalits Media Advocacy related activities. So far we were managing all our activities from our own hard working funds generated from small media related assignments. In our journey of about eight years PMARC has emerged as a premium and exclusive platform which is working on the issue of “ Dalits Media Advocacy” to create awareness and to sensitize mainstream media and civil society on Dalits issues and their concerns. Our first media intervention was daily news monitoring and dissemination through our powerful E Group Dalits Media Watch we have reach more than 3.5 lakh people across the world covering members from more than 72 countries. We have around 25 thousand members in our E group along with 200 E groups are direct member in our group. Since2007 we have disseminated 350 news updates average per year which is a significant intervention with strong consistency. Our news updates are regularly monitored by most of the National Commissions including NHRC which has registered more than 4000 cases basis on our news updates. Many more universities national & International, researchers, national & International human rights commission, organizations are using our data base. PMARC become a core resources center for journalists from mainstream media and intellectuals and we are facilitating them on regular basis. From last four years PMARC has made more than 100 short profile base documentary films on Dalit activists focused on their success, challenges and lacunas before them as part of our “DALIT SPEAKS !” series. We had also made documentaries for Dalit movements and organization voluntarily. We had also provided informal orientation on Dalits Media Advocacy to 150 small Dalit grass root activist/ leaders over eight years. During last eight years PMARC has developed a small resources center, a small highly professional team with an audio video setup & crew. We have also developed a network of media associates volunteer across the country on Dalits Media Advocacy. Now we are facing challenges on five fronts: 1. To run our office ( Rent Rs. 10,000 per month) 2. Our communication & Internet expense ( Rs.15,000 per month). 3. Travel for our team ( Rs. 25,000 per month ) 4. For office automations and website/ portal expense. 5. Honorarium for four member fulltime volunteers team. Dear Friends! It is our collective responsibility to support and promote Dalits Media Advocacy which has left out intervention from ever. We appeal you all and each one personally, individually & organizationally for volunteer support/ contribution to PMARC as it is only platform addressing the issues of Dalits Media Advocacy which is on acute crises of resources. Your any form or level (minimum or maximum) of support will strengthen, encourage and motivate us for way forward. Please do forward/ share this appeal to your friends and within network and organization to support our initiative.
