IS KPFA PUTTING FUNDRAISING BEFORE ITS MISSION?
Many of the "premiums" offered to KPFA's subscribers are speeches or programs that are not being played when they happen or soon thereafter but are being recorded and held for the next fund drive. And then we get to hear 30 minutes of a longer program and to hear the whole program you have to buy it. Many, if not most, of these programs are never played entirely on the air for those that can't afford to buy them. Is that what KPFA and Pacifica are about? I have a motion on this issue before t...

Urgent Actions for Oakland Schools
We are at a crossroads in stopping the closure of schools and getting
back local control for Oakland. The good news is we have a bill to
return local control (AB 45), in the state assembly and it looks like
it may pass. However the work to stop the school closures is at a
turning point with only a month and a half before closure, we are
bringing our resolution for a moratorium on closures to the school
board and we are turning up the heat on State education official Jack
O'Connell. Edu...

May 8th: March for Custodian Wage Equity @ UCB
Custodians at UCSC need your support. After a very unproductive negotiation session with UC Administration last Friday, UC custodians are moving full steam ahead for a Commencement March for Custodian Wage Equity at UC Berkeley on Tuesday, May 8th. UC was given $8.5 million earmarked for custodians on 4 UC campuses, but the administration is only offering a fraction of that. We're aiming to fill a charter bus with workers, students and community members to demand they hand all of the money ov...

MayDay in Berkeley - Reclaim the Streets. (video/x-ms-wmv 48.1MB)
This is edited video of the 2003 May Day Reclaim the Streets walk through downtown Berkeley and the south-of-campus area. It has already been covered as photojournalism on indybay, and this primarily serves to add the soundtrack, and also helps convey the size of the large group of residents and students who joined in. It seemed appropriate to share as a flashback in time because lots of participants thought this was fun, and there was no damage done, and little conflict with traffic at this ...
