Marc Cooper did not take kindly to being questioned about his support for the Pacifica board at a reading at a Los Angeles bookstore. Click here for Myla Reson's account. This has been a devastating blow to many political and ethnic communities in Los Angeles that have looked to Pacifica as the only place to have their voices heard. The problems at KPFK are mirrored throughout Pacifica, which has been taken over by a board of directors that has made itself invincible to change by illegally changing Pacifica's bylaws. KPFK manager Mark Schubb has censored all discussion of these events from KPFK airwaves, and has even fired a reporter who wrote about it elsewhere.
Listeners thus know nothing about why their station has changed.
We have activities in community outreach, program development, and democratization of the KPFK Local Advisory Board. We support the LAB, which has been effectively ignored by Schubb and Pacifica after being deprived of its power to elect national board members. The KLG also plans demonstrations and picketing at KPFK's offices and elsewhere. We're looking for members. Click here for details.
