This Sunday, Sept. 19 from 1-3:00 PM is your last opportunity to see and question, live and in person, candidates for the local station board (LSB) at listener sponsored Pacifica radio station KPFK-FM (90.7 LA, 98.7 Santa Barbara). It will take place at the Venice United Methodist Church/Peace with Justice Arts Center at 1020 Victoria Ave in Venice, California (just off Lincoln Blvd., a block north of Venice Blvd.) The election runs until midnight, September 30, and there is also one more set of on-air forums (with subsets of the candidates) each day next week from 10-11:00 AM on the air.
I am running for the LSB with the GrassrootsKPFK slate (not representing or affiliated with the station itself or Pacifica) -- check us out at www.grassrootskpfk.net. We want to make sure that the station and the network live up to the potential of the Pacifica Mission. We want to restore and expand local news, Spanish language programming, listener participation in station governance and on the air, transparency and accountability in station fund-raising, budgeting and programming to meet community needs. We want to preserve free speech radio for voices not commonly heard on the corporate OR "public" broadcast spectrum -- radical, problem-solving voices of grassroots communities in resistance against unemployment, foreclosures, police abuse, miseducation, mass incarceration, militarization of the schools, the police and the border, war, political repression, and environmental devastation. We stand for human rights in all forms: women's rights, LGBTQ rights, labor rights; and oppose all forms of oppression. Check out our principles, come ask your questions in person or on the air this week, and then vote for Aryana Gladney of the Black Riders Liberation Party, Lawrence Reyes of the Puerto Rican Alliance, me (Michael Novick of Anti-Racist Action), Brenda Medina of UCLA radio and now CSUN post-graduate, Lydia Brazon of Humanitarian Law project, Chuck Anderson of Orange County ACLU and Peace & Freedom, and Ron Spreistersbach. Reject the tactics of fear and election-buying by the slate that bought a half-page ad in the LA Weekly just to slander us by rewriting history, blaming the decline in listenership and precipitous drop in fundraising that has occurred during their period of domination to the previous station manager and our slate.
