Berkeley Forum Community Activist Radio KPFA/KPFK & the Future Of Pacifica
Voices For Justice Radio Forum Community Activist Radio KPFA/KPFK & the Future Of Pacifica Sunday August 30, 2009 2:00 PM Berkeley Fellowship of Universalist Unitarians 1606 Bonita/Cedar Berkeley Pacifica is in crisis with a declining listenership, financial losses and a growing top down centralized operation. In Los Angeles, the news department has been shutdown and the continued failure to bring new community programming on to the stations is one reason that listeners are being driven away. The arrest and beating of KPFA community broadcaster Nadra Foster at KPFA is a direct result of a management and their policies at the station. These actions do not represent the interests of the staff, the listeners or the community. This forum will discuss what is happening at KPFA/KPFK and Pacifica and a vision to rebuild the stations and the network to make it a vibrant and vital activist broadcast vehicle for the issues facing people in the US and internationally. SPEAKERS: Fernando Valesquez, Past news director and community programmer KPFK Los Angeles Ralph Schoenman, Producer "Taking Aim" WBAI New York Sureya Sayadi, KPFA Local Station Board member and supporter of VJR Steve Zeltzer, Candidate KPFA Local Station Board VJR Lawrence Reyes, Candidate KPFK Local Station Board and Supporter Of Listener's Resistance Jaime Cader, Candidate KPFA Local Station Board Community Activist VJR JR Valrey, Producer The Block Report KFPA Donations Requested (No one turned away due to the lack of funds) (Location is not wheelchair accessible) Sponsored by Voices For Justice Radio http://www.voicesforjusticeradio.org For information call (415)867-0628
