Litigation Initiated Against Unfair Pacifica Election Process

A legal process was begun this week against the just-concluded Pacifica elections for national and local board members under the new, improperly-imposed Bylaws. A motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the certification of the election results, citing irreparable harm if the process proceeds, was denied by a judge in L.A. Superior Court. However, the underlying legal challenge, seeking an "order to show cause" and demand for documentation, as well as [...]

Normalizing Troops in US Streets

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/normalizing-troops-in-u-s-streets/ People always criticize the Congress, at least the Republicans in Congress for being too supine, and too prostrative when it comes to the president. Well, I don't think it's fair to charge just one branch of the government. We live in a country where the Supreme Court, which is the highest judicial power in the US, essentially gave unlimited power and immunity to the president on the [...]

Welcome to the 2nd Quarter of the 21st Century!

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) A "year in review" summary, as has been traditional in the January issue of Change Links annually, would recapitulate the horrors of the first year of Trump II, with which we are all too achingly familiar. I am instead going to take a longer view, and look back over the past quarter-century to see what got us into this deepening political, moral, economic and [...]

High Hypocrisy

of the Pacifica National Board, KPFK Local Station Board majority by Rodrigo Argueta Vargas Today we learned that Donald Trump made the board of the Kennedy Foundation vote to change its official name to include his name too, now the official name is the Donald Trump and John F Kennedy Center...  Then the white house speaker said the vote was unanimous. Nevertheless Joyce Beatty who is a member of the board said it [...]

Holiday Season Gift Subscription EXTENDED SAVINGS!!

Change Links Needs Your Support to Carry on! Change Links Community Calendar and progressive news is feeling the pinch of rising prices for postage and newsprint. The cost of a first-class stamp has gone up three times in the last two years, and another increase is expected in 2026, probably part of Trump's plan to privatize the post office. The paper we print on has also gone up dramatically, with a big [...]

Un-Rig the Elections at Pacifica Radio

Much like the wave of gerrymandering unleashed by DJ Chump on a national level, democracy has been undermined at listener-sponsored, non-commercial educational KPFK 90.7 FM and its non-profit parent Pacifica Foundation, Inc. Pacifica has always been contested terrain, that state security forces have tried to contain or control, the right wing has tried to eliminate, and cold war corporate liberals have sought to dominate and de-radicalize. To protect local autonomy and oversight, [...]

Which Way KPFK & Pacifica?

By Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA A palace coup has taken place at KPFK and Pacifica -- a takeover by insiders known as "New Day Pacifica", who have disempowered listener and staff members and their elected delegates. The consequences for programming, and for the future of the listener-sponsored community-oriented radio station and network, are dire. Last November, KPFK eliminated its locally-produced environmental programming, including indigenous environmental voices, just before the worst environmental [...]
