!! Update for May 4th !!

The Empire must recognize the display of community support for Vidwest at their "rally." The Empire is not pleased with the profound advocacy for free speech... but there is nothing we can do. The rebels are overwhelming.

But the fight is not over yet! More City Hall public hearings will be held in August and September, with the final decision for the budget on September 21st. If the rebels care so much about their puny community media center, they will continue supporting it.

The Empire will remain greatly interested in this matter. Will you?

On May 4th Vidwest addressed the City Council to request continued funding for community media. It was the 15th consecutive time that we've made the ask. We tried something different because, why not?

We took a vote at the studio and decided that City Council meetings would be better with more Star Wars characters in attendance.

Imperial Officer Vex Cordian, played by actor Richard Harris, delivered a satirical message on the importance of local media.

!! FINAL WARNING !!

Columbia, Missouri, the Empire has tried to warn you! Vidwest is dangerous and promotes harmful ideas like free speech and creativity.

We have no choice but to take IMMEDIATE ACTION!

!! An Urgent Update from the Empire !!

Citizens of Columbia, Commander Vex Kordian has brought to the Empire's attention all the dangerous so-called "benefits" that Vidwest provides.

We have flagged these rebels' voices at once! It is not safe for anyone to speak without the Empire telling them what to say.

The Emperor is growing impatient with the delay in defunding the "community media center." So we must take this matter into our own hands...

Commander Kordian will return soon to brief Columbia on our upcoming actions. Be ready...
