Boycott Humanist Hall - Bought and Paid for by Concerned Listeners - Save KPFA - Wellstone

Two weeks ago, KPFA was startled to find an event announced at Oakland's funky Humanist Hall as a Save KPFA benefit. The event announced appearances by Vukani Mawethu, lead by CL-er Andrea Turner, Jon Fromer and others.

Humanist Hall proudly announced on their website at humanisthall.net this was "KPFA's benefit to help KPFA survive until the end of the year"

Except it wasn't. The event was a benefit for the slate called "Save KPFA", formerly known as Concerned Listeners. To help the Hallinans pay for the postcard KPFA voters just received. In other words, this was a lie.

KPFA made Humanist Hall take the post down. Florence Windfall, the website person who says she is the "President of the Fellowship of Humanity" said she was confused and made a mistake.

She just made another one.

I suggest progressives pull events from Humanist Hall if they still can and look elsewhere for event space. You can write to her at humanisthall [at] yahoo.com.

Faking benefits. Not too cool.
