ACTIONS TAKEN: M/S/C (Freedkin, Wagley) WHEREAS, Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 3.68, establishing this Peace and Justice Commission, § 3.68.010 states, in part, "Peace is not a fictitious tranquil end-state, but the process of solving differences constructively, creatively, and non-violently"; and WHEREAS, BMC § 3.68.070(B) states that the Peace and Justice Commission shall "Help create citizen awareness around issues of social justice and develop educational programs…."; and WHEREAS, the Peace and Justice Commission has heard public testimony in support of this resolution; and MINUTES: REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 8, 2001 WHEREAS, BMC § 3.68.010 states, in part, "Individual citizens, unless organized, are virtually powerless in confronting and influencing larger governmental bodies"; and WHEREAS, access to public communications is vital to enable citizens to effectively organize; and WHEREAS, Berkeley-based radio station KPFA, 94.1 FM, a part of the Pacifica Foundation, has provided a voice for Berkeley-based groups and individuals promoting peace and justice for more than 50 yearsi; and WHEREAS, local input into the governance of Pacifica Foundation and accountability for its actions were fundamentally compromised by action of the Pacifica National Board on February 28, 1999, purporting to change the Pacifica by-laws to eliminate the role of Local Advisory Boards (LABs), including KPFA's LAB, in appointing a majority of Pacifica Board members, instead making the Pacifica Board self-selecting ii,iii; and WHEREAS, at the direction of Pacifica staff, KPFA was shut down and many of its staff and supporters were arrested on July 13, 1999; local staff remained locked out until Aug. 5, 1999iv; a Board member (now the Treasurer) discussed selling KPFA and/or WBAI in New Yorkv,vi; and communications equipment was installed that enables Pacifica to wrest control of the KPFA signal from the local community at any timevii; and WHEREAS, Pacifica's national leadership has enforced changesviii at several of its stations that reduce local input and degrade the value of the Pacifica radio stations as voices for the promotion of peace and social justice; and WHEREAS, Amy Goodman, award-winning host of Pacifica's "Democracy Now!" program, which provides a voice for peace and justice issues and activists including Berkeley activists, late last year complainedix of pressure from Pacifica management to "tone down" her coverage of peace and social justice issues; and WHEREAS, around midnight December 22–23, 2000, the Pacifica Executive Director entered Pacifica's radio station WBAI in New York City, NY, changed the locks throughout the studio, fired the station manager and two long-time personnel with no notice or explanationx,xi,xii, all disturbingly reminiscent of the 1999 crackdown on KPFA in Berkeley; and WHEREAS, members of the KPFA LAB, along with members of LABs at other Pacifica stations, have filed suitxiii against Pacifica claiming the by-laws change illegally disenfranchised the LABs and thus the communities they represent, including Berkeley; and 2 MINUTES: REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 8, 2001 WHEREAS, costs of the lawsuits for collecting depositions alone have reached $50,000xiv; and WHEREAS, the KPFA LAB in September-October, 2000 implemented its own democratization, conducting the first-ever listener-sponsor election of members to the LABxv, thereby strengthening community input into KPFA; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Peace and Justice Commission thanks the City Council for its actions of Sept. 14, 1999xvi and subsequentlyxvii in supporting the lawsuit of the Local Advisory Boards against Pacifica Foundation; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Peace and Justice Commission asks the City Council to direct the City Attorney to file a Friend of the Court brief in support of the plaintiffs in said lawsuit, emphasizing KPFA's historic and continuing vital role in supporting Berkeley community activism on issues of peace and justice, and the City's fundamental interest that the local community continue to have a major voice in KPFA's programming, including restoring the power of the Local Advisory Board to appoint members to the Pacifica Foundation National Board; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Peace and Justice Commission asks the City Council to allocate an additional $10,000 to support continuing costs of the lawsuit (not to include attorneys' fees). M/S/C (Wagley, Cohen) that the Peace and Justice Commission supports the Commission on Aging’s proposal regarding the disenfranchisement of African-American and Haitian- American voters in Florida. Ayes: Unanimous; Absent: None. NEXT MEETING DATE Monday, February 5, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in the North Berkeley Senior Center.

Every now and then we will include extra articles when we believe they are most needed. My iPhone advises me that the “coolest” high temperature during the week this issue goes to press is a mere 94 degrees! Assuming that you will likely develop a much closer relationship with indoor air conditioning during this time, we thought this was a great month to stay home and read. We wanted to support you in that endeavor. See what is inside: Two celebrity interviews; Margaret Cho (our cover model) is launching Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime on July 12th; and Amy Rider, who is best known for her recurrent role in the ABC hit series The Secret Life of an American Teenager. The health article offers some ways to help those you love (including yourselves, perhaps) from being “speedaholics”. Such people have got to slow down for their health’s sake. Sometimes your disconnections are more important than your connections. Margaret Cho and the Yellow team in Los Angeles The travel article is Part I of a two part series on Greece.

  • Executive Director's Report July 2007 Introduction General Administration
    Executive Director’s Report July 2007 CONTENTS Introduction * General Administration * Outreach Programming * Digital Distribution Project * Legal * Recommendations Final Thoughts: Mission, Structure, and Democracy Appendix: PNB Digital Distribution Discussion, 1/07 Introduction At the end of April, after an all-day meeting of station managers, program directors and national staff, the Pacifica National Board heard a promising report on the prospects for programming collaboration. Since then, this new level of cooperation has been demonstrated through an impressive series of special national broadcasts (see pg. 5). During the same period, the national office has recruited and hired new staff members to replace departing employees (pg.2), the five sisters stations have completed their Spring on-air fund drives, the Affiliates Program has continued to expand Pacifica’s reach by attracting new stations and playing a leading role in the Radio for People campaign (pgs.3-4), the Pacifica Radio Archives has begun work on a 1968 content development project, the Chief Financial Officer has helped station management develop preliminary budgets for FY 08 and led discussions on an ambitious new fundraising strategy, and most Board committees have been active and productive. I list these activities not because they are so unusual, or because the Executive Director has so much special influence in these areas, but rather because the critical tone of so much e-mail dialogue can drown out the record of steady productivity that is demonstrated on a regular basis by Pacifica’s staff. When an individual or group is dissatisfied with a specific initiative or staff member, the drumbeat sometimes begins to sound like the only thing happening.
