Good News!
The campaign against the Pacifica board has paid off and the board will
become democratically selected!!
Dennis Moynihan, a local activist, has relocated to DC to help
"encourage" pro-corporate-power board members to resign, one-by-one.
And hundreds and hundreds of others have advocated, sued,
protested and organized! The law-suit has been settled
and Pacifica will return to its original listener-sponsored,
independent of corporate control mission that was set out
by founder Joe Hill more than fifty years ago!
The people, united, will never be defeated!
Listen and celebrate:

BECOME THE MEDIA!!!
In hope,

Community radio advocates regain control of Pacifica!
December 12, 2001: An agreement was reached today between plaintiffs
in four lawsuits against Pacifica and the foundation's board of
directors, whereby official control of the network will return to
community radio advocates. The agreement calls for an interim board,
controlled by the current minority, to serve for fifteen months while
new, democratic structures are implemented for an elected national
Pacifica board. The agreement brings to an end two and a half years
of legal, political, and community struggle following an illegal
change, implemented under former board chair Dr. Mary Frances Berry,
in the method of selecting Pacifica's directors, who had formerly
been elected by the local station boards.
