Tell KPFA to cover the 40th anniversary of the Black Panther Party with live broadcasts!

Whether or not you can attend the BPP 40th anniversary conference, having the events broadcast on KPFA is very important. Please contact KPFA General Manager Lemlem Rijio and let her know you want to hear the live broadcasts!

For those of us who cannot be in the Bay Area at this time, KPFA serves an especially important purpose. If KPA doesn't cover this historic event, who will? KPOO might, but they don't have the archives or reach that KPFA does. For many researchers and activists around the country, this event is of paramount importance, particularly at this time. We need KPFA's live broadcasts. And, as SF Bay View editors Mary and Willie Ratcliff say, "the Party was born and grew up in Oakland and Berkeley, right in KPFA’s back yard."

I will ardently urge my friends and colleagues to contribute to the fund drive if KPFA continues with the plans to broadcast live from the BPP reunion events from Oct. 13-15.
