Dear Friends of KPFA/Pacifica,
According to the http://www.kpfa.org website, the "next Public KPFA LSB meeting will be held on Saturday, January 12th, 2008, starting at 11AM, at Cafe De La Paz - 1600 Shattuck in Berkeley." I strongly urge everyone interested in progressive discourse in the media and, especially, on the airwaves of Northern California to please attend and voice your content or discontent with the current state of KPFA as a voice of the silenced, for people of colour, for voices of dissent, as a voice for activists, for the working poor, for the marginalised.
Given all of the recent and significant events, including union-busting at KPFA (decertification of the Unpaid Staff Organization), banning of the Labour Collective, undermining of the KPFA Program Council, to the apparent behind-closed-doors KPFA LSB deliberation regarding hiring embattled interim General Manager Lemlem Rijio (apparent "Concerned Listeners" accomplice, see http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/11/19/18462193.php) as new Permanent General Manager of KPFA (among the many in opposition to furthering the current power structure at KPFA was Dennis Bernstein, veteran KPFA programmer and "Flashpoints" producer--see 11.17.07 KPFA LSB meeting), the mysterious and sudden absence of Nicole Sawaya during her brief resurgence as Executive Director of Pacifica, and, most significantly, the corrupted KPFA LSB Elections of 2007, there is much to be considered, voiced, discussed, and debated. At the last KPFA LSB meeting (12.15.07), the politically dominant section of the Board representing the new power elite at KPFA, "Concerned Listeners," attempted to seat the new LSB members (the majority of which shall represent the so-called "Concerned Listeners"), despite the fact that the 2007 KPFA LSB Elections had not yet been certified. Please urge all of your friends and family members who are interested in peace and social justice to attend this critical meeting.
In solidarity for democracy, peace and social & economic justice,
Felipe Messina, KPFA listener-member
