California | IndymediaCheck out SaveKPFA's endorsers & candidates, and then vote!
If you have your ballot: fill it out and mail it in now! If you’re eligible to vote in KPFA’s board elections, you should have gotten your ballot last week. The ballots arrived in nondescript envelopes marked “Pacifica Foundation” (not “KPFA”). If you didn’t get a ballot, or need to request a replacement, call this number: 1-866-720-4357 or email election [at] kpfa.org as soon as possible. ![]() vote-savekpfa.png DEADLINE for receipt of ballots back in New York is December 11. See the candidate list at savekpfa.org. For the first year ever, you will not be able to turn in ballots at KPFA — all ballots have to be sent in by mail. They have to arrive at a central counting facility in New York by the deadline of December 11th. The mail system can move more slowly around the holidays, so mail your ballot as early as possible!
PLEASE NOTE: vote for all 9 SaveKPFA candidates, ranking them from 1 to 9 in the order you prefer — or if you’d rather not decide on a ranking, give all 9 candidates a ranking of “1.” Need a little inspiration? Sasha Lilly, co-host of KPFA’s Against the Grain, and co-author of Catastrophism: The Apocalyptic Politics of Collapse and Rebirth, endorses SaveKPFA. “While Pacifica’s governance system is clearly broken,” Lilley says, “it’s still important that people vote in this election — and vote SaveKPFA. If you think that Pacifica should not call the shots at KPFA, and if you support the work of skilled reporters and broadcasters — paid and unpaid — then please vote for all the candidates on the SaveKPFA slate.” Don’t be fooled! The incumbents from the “Community Radio” slate defended the Morning Show purge, and Pacifica’s anti-union attacks. It’s important that you vote for the entire list of SaveKPFA candidates at http://www.saveKPFA.org.

Exchange with a confused voter ... thought you all might appreciate
this. Most people don't have much to go on except the endorsers: A listener wrote: I just got my ballot in the mail today. I have no idea which of the two sides to vote for. I have great admiration for some of the endorsers on each side. I am on the email list from each camp. I cared enough for KPFA that I was at the barricades in '99 at Grove and University Avenue, yet with the best will in the world to do right by the station, I just don't know what that right is. Any idea to help me be clearer? I responded: Hi Listener: I am one of the endorsers for the "United for Community Radio" group. I hope you will rank them #1 through #10 on your ballot. I have great admiration for some of the endorsers of the other slate, too. But I think they are very narrow focussed on preserving jobs that KPFA cannot afford to pay, and unfortunately, many of them don't really know much about the internal struggles at KPFA that are the source of the whole struggle. I believe the UCR candidates are more well-rounded, better connected to more communities that KPFA needs to reach to expand and rebuild its dwindling listener & donor base, more focussed on financial responsibility, and also more likely to eventually bring peace between the warring factions on KPFA's staff because of their respect and support for both the unpaid staff and paid staff. I hope so, at least. Thanks for asking! Carol

The Local Station Board Candidate debates will be heard on KPFA, 94.1 FM as follows:
Sunday November 25 7-10 pm, Monday November 26 7-10 pm, and Tuesday November 27 7-8:30 pm with listener call-ins and online archives. Call in number is 510.848.4425 Please remember the “SaveKPFA” gang is the same government operation that promoted the expensive recall of our beloved Tracy Rosenberg, which ended being nullified. The United for Community Radio candidates are: From: http://www.votecommunityradio.org/?cat=367 Andrea Prichett – Listener Candidate Beth Seligman – Listener Candidate David Welsh – Listener Candidate Dr. Laurence Shoup – Listener Candidate Karen Pickett – Listener Candidate Kate Tanaka – Listener Candidate Oriana Saportas – Listener Candidate Ramsés Téon Nichols – Listener Candidate Samsarah Morgan – Listener Candidate Virginia Browning – Listener Candidate David Landau – Staff Candidate Frank Sterling Jr. – Staff Candidate Joy Moore – Staff Candidate Please also read: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/03/18725037.php#18725632 http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/03/18725037.php#18725308 http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/03/18725037.php#18725129 http://danielborgstrom.blogspot.com/ Censored 2013 by Mickey Huff and Andy Lee Roth with Project Censored whose show is heard on the Friday Morning Mix on KPFA, 8 a.m.-9 a.m. The book is available in your local bookstores and at: http://www.projectcensored.org/store/ Go to Chapter 4: Media Democracy in Action, p. 200, "Riding the Waves at Pacifica Radio" by Andrew Leslie Phillips. Then read Michael Parenti's statement at http://www.votecommunityradio.org/?p=2154 and here: “I am supporting the United for Community Radio slate because I don’t want a KPFA that is ruled by an elite peerage of paid staff. These self-appointed elites consume almost the entire budget while producing only 20 percent of the programs. I also would like the dedicated volunteer staff to be able to have an organized union voice of its own. And it would be grand if we could get more diversity in programming and personnel from time to time, bringing progressive ideas to the fore instead of the same old NPR imitations. And I wish the elite paid staff would show some regard for KPFA’s (listener-supported) budget and not act as if they are pitted against a rich corporate giant.” Endorsers of the UCR slate are: Max Blanchet Michael Parenti Steve Martinot Barbara Lubin Monadel Herzallah Laura Wells SF Bayview Newspaper Carol Spooner Bill Carpenter Peter Phillips Gray Brechin Michael Lyon Evelyn Nieves Valeri Hood Mickey Huff Tracy Rosenberg Claude Gatebuke Jan Garrett Marsha Feinland Anthony Fest Carolyn Scarr Henry Norr Jim Curtis And endorsers from the leaflet are: Anthony Fest Host Weekend News Banafsheh Akhlaghi Dir of Legal Sanctuary for Community Advancement Barbara Lubin Director of Middle East Children’s Alliance Bonnie Faulkner Host Guns and Butter Bruce Wolfe, M.S.W President of DogPAC of SF, Boardmember of Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council/Kezar Gardens The Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club Carol Spooner Lead plaintiff in listeners’ lawsuit to remove the Pacifica Board 99-01, Pacifica National Board 2002-2005 David Roach Founder The Oakland International Film Festival, Mo' Better Food Davey D Host Hard Knock Radio, Morning Mix Fadi Saba South Bay Mobilization Gray Brechin Environmental activist Kate Raphael Host Women’s Magazine Jonathan Nack Activist Photographer Peter Franck Movement Atty - from Mario Savio to Save KUSF, former Pres.
