I first encountered Pacifica in 1970 t the height of the Vietnam War, an amazing new station came on the air broadcasting anti-war progressive voices. It was exhilarating and at the time a somber experience because the station was bombed off the air shortly after it began its broadcast, but it crystallized for me why Pacifica needs to survive.<\/span>\u00a0 Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n

I want KPFA to cover YOUR interests: on the radio; on the community calendar; on podcasts and on website videos, I advocate for dependable reporting of people’s responses to political, economic and environmental challenges, discrimination and militarized violence; and for drama, comedy, and enlivening music that heals our souls.<\/span>\u00a0 Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n

T.M. Scruggs<\/u>\u2014Listener Representative<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am an educator, musician, and long time social activist, involved in community\/non-profit media for over 30 years.\u00a0\u00a0 My various forms of organizing and cultural work have proven to me that media is the crucial battleground for providing information and framing issues that determines a societys political direction.\u00a0 I am a founder of TRNN-TheRealNews Network (therealnews.com), and on the Board of Advisers of truthout.org.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n

T<\/u>om Voorhees<\/u>,\u2014 Listener Representative<\/strong><\/p>\n

My primary focus will be rebuilding KPFA and all five Pacifica stations news departments back to their former award-winning national and international investigative news reporting on critical progressive issues. Presently, the three remaining Pacifica news departments depend mostly on a single commercial news feed read over the air, which discourages continuing listeners and new subscribing members.<\/span> Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lisa Dettmer<\/span> — Staff Representative
\n<\/strong>(Lisa replaces Josiah Alderete who is unable to serve.\u00a0 Her seat is still unofficial.\u00a0 She joins Sabrina Jacobs in serving as an independent staff representative.)<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to see KPFA be the community radio station it was meant to be.\u00a0 One where there is actual respect and cooperation between the staff and the listeners so that we are living the mission of democracy that we preach.\u00a0 And I would like to see KPFA expand it’s audience which is absolutely necessary if we are to survive by hiring a development\/marketing director who will expand our audience and bring in some much needed grants for invaluable programs like the Apprenticeship program.<\/span>\u00a0 Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n
