		<description><![CDATA[Programmers have been pouring their hearts into KPFA&#8217;s fund drive for over two weeks, so far raising over $436,000. The problem? That amount is quite short of the drive&#8217;s $750,000 goal. &#8220;Let&#8217;s all step up to the plate and let KPFA&#8217;s staff know we value and support them,&#8221; said SaveKPFA&#8216;s Margy Wilkinson, an elected member of the station&#8217;s local and national boards. &#8220;They have been working under very difficult circumstances for some time,&#8221; she said, &#8220;and if KPFA comes up short in its current fund drive, we fully expect some in Pacifica management to use the shortfall as a pretext &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/urgent-kpfas-spring-fund-drive-needs-your-immediate-support/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pacifica’s top official moved to oust KPFA’s interim general manager, Andrew Phillips in a phone call on April 12th. Phillips told KPFA’s elected Local Station Board (LSB) on April 13 that interim Pacifica executive director Summer Reese told him to vacate his office within a week. Here’s a report that ran on the Pacifica Evening News. The LSB passed two measures in response. The first states: “The KPFA Local Station Board opposes any move by Pacifica to remove or replace a KPFA manager without the meaningful participation of KPFA’s elected Local Station Board and consultation with KPFA’s paid and unpaid &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/pacifica-threatens-to-fire-kpfas-gm-local-board-objects/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you thought the drive to censor KPFA&#8217;s workers was past, think again. Pacifica has released new versions of its &#8220;employee handbook&#8221; for both paid and volunteer workers, according to KPFAWorker.org, which threaten them with termination for posting criticism of the network on their personal social media pages or private websites, or even speaking to the press. Free speech radio won&#8217;t be so free if the Pacifica board majority has its way: &#8220;It&#8217;s shamefully obvious,&#8221; one worker tells KPFAWorker, &#8220;that Pacifica&#8217;s board majority wants to remove its workers&#8217; voices from the conversation about the network&#8217;s future,&#8221; continuing the pro-censorship agenda &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/not-again-why-cant-pacifica-stop-trying-to-censor-its-staff/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On March 6, KPFA&#8217;s winter fund drive wrapped up, finishing two days earlier than 2012&#8242;s winter fund drive &#8212; and raising $100,000 more. Thanks to all of you in KPFA-land who pledged, and a special thanks to those who helped out in the phone room. If you didn&#8217;t get a chance to, you can give to KPFA anytime online. KPFA&#8217;s fund drives are still running longer than before Pacifica killed KPFA&#8217;s top fundraiser, the Morning Show &#8212; but the trend has started to reverse.

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the situation elsewhere in the 5-station Pacifica network isn&#8217;t so bright. Days before the Pacifica National Board convened in New York City on February 22, news broke that sister station WBAI&#8217;s transmitting tower was about to be evicted from its roost on the Empire State Building, which allows the station to reach up to 75 miles in all directions, into four states. Rent for the tower was $200,000 in arrears, and the landlord had begun eviction proceedings. In an emergency appeal, WBAI extended its winter fund drive by four weeks, while Pacifica set up a special transmitter fund.

		<description><![CDATA[KPFA&#8217;s most recent fund drive turnaround seems to have had a big impact on the station&#8217;s bottom line. On February 23, Pacifica distributed first-quarter income statements for the network. Brian Edwards-Tiekert (now serving as KPFA&#8217;s staff rep on the Pacifica National Board) reported the statements &#8220;show KPFA outperforming its budget to the tune of $115,000 in just three months. The main driver is KPFA&#8217;s fund drives &#8212; the statements show that KPFA brought in $154,348 more listener support than budgeted&#8221; before the most recent drive even started. &#8220;The bad news,&#8221; said Edwards-Tiekert, &#8220;is that KPFA appears to be the only &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/financial-results-kpfa-beating-budget-pacifica-lagging/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After much delay, the Pacifica National Board (PNB) seated newly-elected reps from its stations at a February 22-25 meeting in New York. SaveKPFA-affiliated rep Margy Wilkinson was one of them. In her report-back, Wilkinson said highlights included a short video about the Pacifica Radio Archives and a full-length documentary about WBAI&#8217;s Bob Fass. She added that most of the meeting was spent behind closed doors in &#8220;executive&#8221; sessions, at least one of which was &#8220;probably held in violation of the law governing public vs. executive sessions.&#8221; &#8220;We received no written reports from Summer [Reese] in her role as either as &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/new-board-members-seated-at-pacifica-finally/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has there ever been a Pacifica board more out of touch with KPFA&#8217;s listeners? Three days ago,  the board&#8217;s lame-duck majority passed a McCarthy-like resolution to quash dissenters in the network. Hundreds of listeners and staff wrote to members of the Pacifica National Board (PNB) earlier this month when the anti-dissent &#8220;loyalty&#8221; measure first came up, calling it a political witch hunt. (A sampling of the letters is here, and you can add your voice here.) &#8220;Putting forward rules about &#8216;loyalty&#8217; under the guise of financial duty is a trick that Joe McCarthy himself would have been proud of,&#8221; wrote &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/lame-duck-pacifica-board-rushes-to-approve-anti-dissent-loyalty-rules/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The first new Local Station Board (LSB) in more than two years took office at its January 12 meeting. In December, SaveKPFA&#8216;s candidates won a landslide in elections &#8211; a majority that was reflected in the local election of board officers and delegates to the Pacifica National Board (PNB). Burton White was elected chair of the local board, and Carole Travis, vice-chair. Craig Alderson was elected secretary. Barbara Whipperman continued as the appointed treasurer.
