Come to the Teach In about the Crisis at Pacifica
WBAI 99.5 FM is a valuable resource to New York area communities and
democracy throughout the world
...BUT we are in imminent danger of losing it to corporate raiders.
WBAI
99.5 FM and KPFA in Berkeley, CA are among the five stations that make up
the Pacifica network. Pacifica is the only network whose stations are
almost entirely supported by listeners - NOT by commercial interests. The
loss of any one of these stations would be a severe blow to freedom of
speech. Recent events at KPFA including a 23-day stand-off, staff arrests
and use of armed guards to block entrances, have caused worry that WBAI or
KPFA, each valued at over $200 million, will be commercialized or sold.
"The timing and character of the siege of KPFA indicates that the station's
governors have chosen to join, rather than resist, a many-pronged assault
on public access to the airwaves." - The Black Radical Congress
