Listener awareness is increasing dramatically as a result, with no loss of programming punch. In fact the coverage has been inspiring, and inclusion of the listeners in the struggle is absolutely necessary to enlist them in supporting KPFA directly and indirectly by supporting the lawsuits, by focusing awareness on the PNB meeting in Houston, the bylaws changes, the threats to Amy Goodman and to anyone who speaks out at any of the other stations about the power grab from above. Please consider more regular programming about the crisis. Even five minutes a program is an enormous help to communicating some of the issues which, while at times complex, are very comprehensible if portrayed as such. The Listener Groups such as the Coalition for a democratic Pacifica, North Bay for KPFA, the Marin Tri-County Group and others have noticed and appreciated the increased coverage of the crisis.
Some discussion makes more discussion easier.
People have a basis to communicate because they hear it on the airwaves which must be used to save the station. Again, thanks - do keep it up and do tap the resources of the listener activists as often as you wish. We will be glad to help write announcements, provide guests and work to frame issues so that we can all understand how the community and the station can continue this fight and this movement.
