KPFA, Abortion, 9/11 Truth, Palestine & Labor After listening to the Local Station Board Candidates for KPFA on the air on 9/1/10, it is clear that we need less dodging of questions and more principles from the candidates. In particular, women's right to abortion must be supported unconditionally, the fact that 9/11 was an Inside Job perpetrated by the US military with no hijackers on board but rather planes on remote control and controlled demolition must be supported unconditionally, the Palestinian liberation struggle against the US ...

Does Staff Rep Shahram Aghamir Represent KPFA Staff Interests? Shahram Aghamir is the only staff representative from KPFA to the Pacifica National Board; he is supposed to represent the interests of both paid and unpaid staff. Yet, during a moment of great financial hardship, he voted to order the National Elections Supervisor to send expensive and ecologically-wasteful print campaign booklets to all of KPFA subscribers, instead of allowing them to access the statements online as planned. The cost to KPFA was over $15,000 at a time when the station may ...

KPFA election, democracy by Randy Shaw The tragedy at KPFA and Pacifica is another chapter in the ongoing story of organizational dysfunction on the left. Internal struggles at Pacifica Radio have gone on for years, but now they have placed the Network’s survival is at risk. A governance structure created in hasty response to the planned corporate takeover of the station in 1999 has proved utterly unworkable, with a small minority of listeners now controlling decision-making while the voices of most paid and unionized staff are ig...

Open Letter from a Listener to Robbie Osman about the KPFA Board Elections Longtime listener and activist responds to Robbie Osman's endorsement of the Independents for Community Radio slate in the KPFA Local Station Board Elections. "The thing that makes me saddest is your use of the word democracy, in contraposing those who support democracy and those who supposedly oppose it. The reason this saddens me is that it strikes me as deliberately dishonest, which was something that I did not expect from you."...

KPFA Board Elections: An All-Volunteer KPFA: A Recipe for Disaster Many of the candidates running for the KPFA Local Station Board would like to get rid of the paid staff at KPFA and have an all- or mainly-volunteer station. That was tried before at KPFA in the 1970s. Richard Wolinsky was there and says it doesn't work: "The public affairs programs were, to be kind, uneven, usually depending on whether the program was developed by a grant (i.e. the producers were paid) or not. Fund-drives lasted six weeks and earned a pittance. The station had minimal incom...
