Save KPFA/Concerned Listeners - A Weird Way to Support KPFA

by Scratching My Head
The work of a nonprofit board is to dramatically read emails on a sidewalk?
10_years_of_kpfa_finances_-_graph.pdf_600_.jpg
With more than a little irony, the Concerned Listeners/Save KPFA group requested the December meeting of KPFA's Local Station Board be shortened by 60% (apparently because they can't figure out any actual work for the board to do), while sending on the very same day an email broadside to their supporters to turn out tomorrow for a "dramatic sidewalk reading of emails".

"JOIN SaveKPFA outside of Pacifica's offices at 1925 MLK Jr Way in Berkeley (next door to KPFA) for a DRAMATIC PUBLIC READING of some of the letters listeners have sent to Pacifica's executive director Arlene Engelhardt"

If you'd like to see a little more work and a little less theater, comments can be sent to votesavekpfa [at] gmail.com.

Although they are unlikely to be selected for dramatic sidewalk intoning.
