A Message From Pacifica's General Counsel About A False Posting Regarding Jane Fonda
A group which is trying to take possession of Pacifica by replacing its democratic bylaws which give decision making power to its listener supporters and staff to bylaws which would enable it to run the network autocratically and even sell stations without the consent of its shareholders, has forced an expensive referendum to be voted on this June. They falsely claimed Jane Fonda to be an endorser, have not remover her name, nor published her retraction. Vote NO!

To Pacifica Members: [ at KPFA, KPFK, KPFT, WBAI, WPFW ]
On June 7 you will receive a ballot to vote on a set of Pacifica bylaw revisions proposed by a group of members who call themselves "New Day Pacifica."
In mid -May this group sent out an email to the entire Pacifica membership list (as allowed by our very democratic election rules) which stated that their proposal had been endorsed by progressive actress Jane Fonda.
On May 28, 2021, Ms. Fonda stated: "I guess I was hoodwinked along with Martin Sheen," and then copied me on this email which she had just sent to New Day at info [at] newdaypacifica.org:
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to request that my name be immediately removed from any mailings related to New Day and Pacifica.
She also authorized me to release this statement:
"I withdraw my endorsement of the New Day proposals and applaud the efforts of the Pacifica leadership to maintain an amazing democratic organization"
We have all learned much over the last few years about the importance of labeling false information as "false. " We are doing this here because the Pacifica email list was used to disseminate false information.
Please make sure to vote.

The person likely will give an endorsement to whichever side first asks for one.
The other side will naturally try to get the endorser to take back the endorsement.
Since the person does not have skin in the game, the person will sensibly take back the endorsement.
The other side might then claim that the endorsement was a lie.
