We are resilient and resourceful but we can not win a struggle by financing both sides. That accountability is nothing but a fiction if we will not, even in such a dire circumstance, exercise our power to refuse to fund what we oppose. We do not criticize KPFA for holding a fundraising drive. The paid staff is contractually obliged to organize and participate in fundraising. And we do not condemn those who ask for money in KPFA's fundraisers.
Honest people can differ over strategies.
But we will no longer contribute to our own downfall. And we think that it is time for others to join us. Please consider making your usual KPFA contribution to the Station Support Fund instead. All of the money collected by this fund will be available to support KPFA and its operations. None of it will support the present board's attacks on our station and on the principles that have guided Pacifica throughout its history.
