BOYCOTT THE FUND DRIVE AT KPFK 90.7FM

PLEASE DON'T FUND THE DESTROYERS OF THE PACIFICA RADIO NETWORK

INFORMATIONAL PICKET AND PRESENCE DAILY AT KPFK 4-5:30

DEMO SATURDAY NOV. 3 AT KPFK 12 NOON - 2PM

On October 31st, KPFK-Pacifica Radio in Los Angeles began asking listener-supporters in the Los Angeles and Southern California area for financial support. Berkeley station KPFA "Flashpoints" host Noelle Hanrahan reported on Octber 31st, "KPFK has just begun its fund drive, despite their demands for bills payments and opening the books NOT being answered. At a meeting with the staff, Pacifica Board Chair, Bob Farrell, demanded the fund drive begin, ...and they caved."

Bob Farrell is applying pressure to get money from Southern California listeners. But we can boycott to express our outrage over the fiscal unaccountability and neglect at the stations while the Pacifica National Board uses our funds for high-priced lawyers, public relations firms and security companies to maintain their tenuous grip over our radio network.

In Pacifica's FY2000 the current board majority and managers spent a staggering 0,000 of listener money on anti-union law firms and 0,000 more on security. Dissident board members estimate this year's leagl bills have already topped one million dollars. Meanwhile, an investigation by the Pacifica Campaign has revealed that in the past couple of years, executive salaries skyrocketed. ( For information, go to http://www.pacificaboycott.org).

KPFK station manager Mark Schubb's salary shot up from ,000 in 1999 to nearly ,000 in 2000. What are we paying for? Mark Schubb has kept "Democracy Now!" off the air at KPFK, even though it is still being broadcasted from KPFA in Berkeley. David Barsamian's "Alternative Radio" was silenced and KPFK continues to lack community announcements, and real racial diversity. Meanwhile, due to the policies of the Pacifica National Board, we no longer receive "Free Speech Radio News," daily cutting-edge newscasts by Pacifica's stringer journalists. Ironically, under the current administration, the great programs our network created are heard throughout the country on affiliate stations and on the internet, yet our Pacifica stations have shut them out!

Every cent you give to KPFK will be directly under the control of the ruling majority of the Pacifica National Board. Don't pay them to destroy our network. Instead:
