This coming week we'll be kicking off our first Music and Culture mini-pledge. Link will be spotlighting our movies, documentaries and world music blocks for the next month; it'll be a great lead-in to the *Big Holidays* and New Year's Eve. In addition to that, we have two new music blocks that are debuting, plus our "Best Videos Finds of 2008" program, AND two productions in affiliation with Amnesty International coming up: a very cool special called "Music for Human Rights", and our music video "The Price of Silence." Both productions will be streamed online, as well as broadcast.  You can see "The Price of Silence" starting Friday, December 5th, and on Tuesday, December 9th, you can download both the song and the video at iTunes. Once you see the video, I predict you will want to see and hear it again!

We hope that with this barrage of great entertainment, you'll be inspired to make a contribution to Link TV. We have a goal to raise $100,000 through this mini-pledge. We know that times are tough, but in this season, when we all think back on the past year, and make our wishes for the future, remember all the great songs and stories that Link has brought into your home. In a world of tumultuous changes, Music and Culture is the Good News -- that people the world over have an instinct to communicate and create that is stronger than alienation and destruction. When you give during this mini-pledge your gift will go directly to bringing you more of this especially affirmative, uplifting and artful programming.
