DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Protest Over Pacifica Coup:\n1999 Redoux? Stop The Coup! \n\nPress 
 Conference\nSaturday October 19, 2019 10:00 AM At KPFA LSB Meeting\nSouth 
 Berkeley Senior Citizens Center\n2939 Ellis St, Berkeley, CA 94703\nLSB 
 Meeting starts at 11:00 AM\n\nA faction of the Pacifica Foundation National 
 Board illegally shutdown the New York Pacifica station WBAI on Monday 
 October 7, 2019. They improperly ordered Pacifica engineers and staff to 
 rip out the computers, shutdown the WBAI website and turn the broadcast 
 station into a repeater station. They also improperly set up a consulting 
 company called “Pacifica Across America” with KPFA manager Quincy McCoy 
 as a consultant to determine programming.\n\nThis is the corporatization of 
 KPFA and Pacifica. It took place during a national election at all Pacifica 
 stations and a national fundraising campaign, and has already cost Pacifica 
 and KPFA tens of thousands of dollars. This action also violated the 
 AFTRA-SAG union contract by giving no notice of the terminations and 
 closure of the station, although this is required under the contract. A 
 majority of the Pacifica National Board has now overturned these actions, 
 but those who took this action have gone to the Feds to take control of 
 Pacifica.\n\nAdditionally at KPFA, this rogue faction is seeking to remove 
 Pacifica KPFA Board representative Tom Voorhees from the KPFA PNB board at 
 a secret meeting on October 26, 2019 to support their faction and coup at 
 WBAI. We must PACK the meeting and speak out against the coup. \n\nAd Hoc 
 Committee for Democracy, Transparency and A Strong KPFA & 
 Pacifica\n\nEndorsed by Rescue Pacifica www.rescuepacifica.org\n\nInfo:
