Free Speech Radio Activists Protest the National Assoc. of Home Builders

7-25-01

San Francisco, CA

KPFA radio activists held a demonstration against the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) at the Home Building Trade Show and Conference taking place at the Moscone Center.

As conference attendees passed between the North and South Halls of the Moscone Center the demonstrators handed out flyers describing the NAHB and explaining its unfortunate connection to KPFA.

“The NAHB is a trade association that lobbies against environmental regulations such as the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act as well as regulations that would make apartment buildings and houses more accessible for people with disabilities. Additionally, NAHB manager Ken Ford has led attacks against free speech as a member of the board of directors of Pacifica Radio. People who censor and ban journalists at their stations have no place running the only independent radio network in the United States!”
