ADD YOUR NAME & COMMENTS  |  READ SIGNERS’ COMMENTS

“The Pacifica Radio network is as fragile as it is important — it cannot afford this protracted disruption. Please respect the decision by the majority of the elected Pacifica National Board, stop blocking elected board members’ access to financial records, leave Pacifica’s offices peacefully, and help make Pacifica’s leadership transition a smooth one.”
