Address: Committee to Remove the Pacifica Board |

This is a forward I received regarding the raising of funds needed to cover 3 concurrent lawsuits seeking to remove the Pacifica Foundation Board of Directors for gross abuse and for illegal bylaws amendments and "board packing." |
Dear savepacifica supporter,
There are currently three lawsuits seeking to remove
the Pacifica Foundation Board of Directors for gross
abuse and for illegal bylaws amendments and "board
packing."
For more information on the three suits see
http://www.savepacifica.net and click the "Legal Info"
link on the left side of the page.
If these lawsuits are successful (and we believe they
have very strong legal foundation and can be won), the
directors on the board who are NOT FIT TO SERVE the
mission of Pacifica will be removed, an interim board
will be seated, and we can begin a national dialogue &
brainstorming session about how to restructure
Pacifica's governance & management so that it will
work, both as a network and as five individual
community radio stations, and carry out democratic
election of directors and station boards -- that are
accountable to the listener-sponsors and station
staffs -- within one year.
The Pacifica Foundation can be restored to its
radical mission:
"contribut[ing] to a lasting understanding between
nations and between the individuals of all nations,
races, creeds and colors; to gather and disseminate
information on the causes of conflict between any and
all of such groups; and through any and all means
compatible with the purposes of this corporation
to promote the study of political and economic
problems and of the causes of religious, philosophical
and racial antagonisms." (From Pacifica's Articles of
Incorporation)
or, in other words, being a thorn in the side of
governmental/corporate media propagandists.
Our $300,000 campaign is simple and direct. If 3,000
people send $100, each, to the "umbrella" fund to
support the three lawsuits, we will achieve our goal. (Smaller or larger donations will also help, of
course.)
Tax-Deductible contributions can be sent to:
Free Pacifica Legal Action/Vanguard Fund
c/o Vanguard Public Foundation
383 Rhode Island Street, Suite 301
San Francisco, CA 94103
Each of the lawsuits also will continue to raise
funds independently in order to maintain their legal
autonomy. However this joint pool will be divided
equally between the three suits and will help make
certain that all three suits are strong and able to
carry out their essential work.
Please pass this information on to organizations
you belong to -- 3,000 people isn't that many. Surely,
it will not be hard to find them.
Thanks,
Carol Spooner
