KPFA needs new people with new ideas and energy to bring more community news, public affairs, \u00a0cultural programming and new technology to the KPFA and the Pacifica network. United for Community Radio is seeking candidates to run on our free speech radio slate which represents individuals and organizations throughout KPFA\u2019s signal range and beyond.\u00a0 We particularly seek those with geographic, racial and cultural diversity to join in our campaign as candidates and campaigners. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are a subscribing member, to KPFA, in the period 12 months prior to the election, you are qualified to run for the local board\u00a0 or to vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To run, you need to subscribe ($25) in time, and you need to get 15 signatures on a petition from other members endorsing you as a candidate. Then you fill out some paper work about your goals and vision for the station and you become a candidate.<\/span><\/div>\n
