The “white-out” of most BIPOC public affairs programmers and producers from the FM signal in Houston TX, which is being partially and incompletely reversed because of the united pushback by the unpaid BIPOC staff and their Pacifica Fightback allies around the Foundation, is a measure of the extent of nati-Blackness and white supremacy that still exists within a progressive media institution like Pacifica, and a harbinger of what’s at stake and in store if the anti-democratic, top-down Bylaws revisions proposed by New Day are adopted.

Join us to hear from programmers and producers at KPFT and learn more about the need to defeat the New Day proposals and to put together determined, effective coalitions at each of our stations to run candidates committed to diversity and democracy in the Local Station Board elections process that is now underway, with a date of record for membership of June 30, and a deadline for nominations of July 14 (More information here: https://elections.pacifica.org/wordpress/
