Forest, Bill, Paul and Charlie from The Advocacy Team were in the VCAM studio today recording their 100th episode. Above is a snapshot from their preproduction session where they met with their special guests from the Green Mountain Self Advocates. As you’ll likely notice on their website, the GMSA is:

a statewide self-advocacy network run and operated by people with developmental disabilities [and they’re] building a movement for self-advocacy through public education and awareness, peer mentoring, support, advocacy and direct action.

The folks from the GMSA are a few of the guests among the dozens of individuals and organizations featured on The Advocacy Team since 2003. The list includes Special Olympics Vermont, Vermont Expos, Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf, VSA Arts and the former mayor of Burlington, Peter Clavelle.

The Advocacy Team is sponsored by Champlain Community Services and can be seen Sundays at 8:30am, Wednesdays at 10:00am and Thursdays at 9:00pm on VCAM Channel 15 . We’d like to congratulate to all the members of the Advocacy Team for reaching this milestone and thank them for all their hard work and ongoing commitment to community media.
