Petition Endorsers and a ‘NO’ position on the New Day Bylaws:
Can we add your name to Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Cindy Sheehan and many others on our list of declared No voters? Simply sign our Petition to Protect Pacifica from Being Corporatized.
Please, Sign the Petition:
To: Pacifica Foundation,
Petition from the Pacifica Democracy Project
As concerned Pacifica Members from all 5 stations we believe:
- The Pacifica Foundation should remain united as a strong network of 5 radio stations, a historical archive and over 200 affiliated stations
- New, more diverse programming should be developed nationally and at all 5 stations
- Conflict resolution should be used to resolve disputes and find common ground
- Local and national boards should continue to be elected democratically
- Local boards should include staff
- The National Board should continue to include staff and Affiliate representation
- Pacifica should maintain its democratically elected local governing boards to provide meaningful oversight over radio station management and budgets
- A public, network-wide effort to improve the Pacifica Bylaws that includes all concerned stakeholders should be conducted
As concerned Pacifica Members from all 5 stations we reject:
- Lawsuits and threats of legal action which divide us and waste our resources
- Bylaws revisions that diminish democracy, eliminate local oversight and concentrate power in the hands of a few
- Efforts to shut down or sell any of the 5 Pacifica stations
