WE MUST SAVE WBAI & PACIFICA TO FIGHT THE REAL ENEMY
Independent candidates for WBAI’s Local Station Board (LSB) fighting off attempts to sell WBAI’s antenna. It actually is on top of the Empire State Building, allowing WBAI to potentially reach 18 million listeners.
The Pacifica network inherited deep financial problems that are finally being addressed. However, some affiliated with the misnamed “Justice & Unity Campaign” have called for the shutting down of WBAI and the breaking up of the network! (Sale of WBAI, they figure, would net them tens of millions of dollars.)
We Independents are organizing with kindred members throughout the network. We say:
FIX THE PROBLEMS AND STRENGTHEN THE NETWORK, DON’T BREAK IT UP!
But the leaders of the Justice & Unity faction (JUC), and their collaborators in Berkeley (known as SaveKPFA, KPFAWorker and the Concerned Listeners — all the same people), have their eyes on breaking up the network and taking over the pieces.
It is imperative that WBAI members vote only for non-JUC candidates:
1. Manijeh Saba
2. Frank LeFever

3. Patricia Logan

5. Robert Young
6. Mario Mastrandrea
7. Murray Gordon
8. Thomas Barton
9. Jeremy Taylor
