CONTRIBUTION POLITICAL AND COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES =================================================== You are about to submit a contribution to be broadcast on Wave Zero's radio waves, both on air as a web-radio and on FM waves on the flotilla to Gaza. The Flotilla is a form of political mobilisation and direct action aiming to break the siege on Gaza and open a humanitarian corridor, contributing to global resistance to israeli state violence. Wave Zero's main purpose is to establish a strong bond between the flotilla and supporting communities world-wide through radio broadcasting. As such, any public communication must be mindful of disclosing sensitive information which could be used to harm the flotilla's mission or any other movement fighting against oppression. It is also important to remember: We aim to foster a united front in support of Gaza and Palestine. Submitted content should always aim to follow the Flotilla's grassroots values. To help guide you in your submission, please read the following rules and guidelines carefully. SENSITIVE INFORMATION DISCLOSURE -------------------------------- Whether you are contributing as a member of the flotilla or from the ground, please refrain from: - Referring to anyone on the flotilla or outside by their full name unless you have their express permission to do so. When in doubt, use an alias. - Sharing any information on air about which boat(s) you are on or the other people crewing them. - Sharing any information on air about the radio-boat. - Sharing any accurate information about the main ground antenna's location. GUIDELINES FOR POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS AND CONTENT ------------------------------------------------ It is important to avoid certain approaches when holding political discussions, talks or content when talking about the flotilla, especially positions that would discredit the mission as a whole. The flotilla is a collective, grassroots mobilisation: Although its important to allow every voice to be heard from the flotilla, it equally crucial we do not indulge in personal heroism by promoting one person's actions or personality above the rest. It is fundamental to understand the flotilla's mission is not to save Gaza or Palestinians, but to use lawful direct action to open a humanitarian corridor and bring aid and awareness to Gaza and Palestinian resistance. All submitted content will be vetted before broadcasting. In certain extreme cases, Wave Zero's vetting team may decide to defer broadcast or exclude content based on the aforementioned criteria.
