On 8/30/2009 KPFA Voices For Justice Radio held a forum on the Struggles at KPFK, KPFA and Pacifica. One of the speakers was Fernando Valesquez who was formerly the News Director of KPFK before the News Department was shut down by the management. He also is the producer of national and Latin American programming in Spanish which is now threatened by management of KPFK. All the slates with the exception of VOJR have been silent about the affect of the merging of KPFA and KPFK's daily news show although this has eliminated local community news from both stations.

'' Ethnic Cleansing'' at Pacifica ? Those are powerful charges . Any evidence ?
Is this going to be the main campaign theme of Steve Zeltzer ? I have heard that Dan Siegel is making that accusation too. Will Voices for Justice endorse Dan Siegel ?
