How Pacifica Claimed a Dubious Victory
2022-01-09
In the 2021 referendum, Pacifica members voted for the New Bylaws by a solid and democratic majority of 6820 to 5471 (55% to 45%). Pacifica Counsel overruled the democratic vote of the members based on two arguments that are not valid. It is also concerning that the Pacifica Counsel was strongly opposed to the proposal. Pacifica needs to recognize the combined vote of the listeners and staff, who clearly want Pacifica's broken governance fixed. […]

56% Vote Yes to Save Pacifica in Democratic Vote for Change, but Pacifica wrongly declares bylaws lost
2021-07-13
Thanks to the 6820 members who voted Yes to save Pacifica. NDP won this referendum by a solid and democratic majority of listeners and staff---despite Pacifica management’s announcement to the contrary. NDP will work through the various legal and political channels available with your support to appeal and reverse this wrong-headed decision which allows those individuals responsible for Pacifica’s financial and organizational crisis to stay in charge at Pacifica. Pacifica needs to immediately recognize the membership’s decision to approve the New Day Pacifica bylaws […]

Time Is Running Out for Us on the Left
2021-07-05
Sharon Kyle, New Day candidate for Transition National Chair of Pacifica, writes: "For over 50 years, the right has stomped all over the left in its unfettered domination of the media. A few decades ago, it would have been unthinkable to turn on televised news and hear some of the outlandish assertions made on Fox News today. What we now refer to as mainstream media showed itself to be in the pockets of the war profiteers after 9/11... […]

Sharon Kyle, “LA Progressive” co-editor, is heading up the New Day Pacifica team

Sharon Kyle

“Ida B. Wells once said, ‘The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.’ That light is independent media. Without it, we cannot mount impactful movements for social or economic justice. I look to Wells for inspiration which is why I support Pacifica and am honored to be part of the effort to bring Pacifica back to financial and organizational health — there is so much work to be done.”

Carol Spooner, co-author of the current Bylaws, supports New Day Bylaws

“The New Day Pacifica Bylaws will correct excesses of the present bylaws by reducing the size of the board, getting the Local Station Boards out of station management, and having direct elections of National Board Members, rather than our present, baroque two stage voting process.”
