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 [...]

Fascist Attacks on Differently-Abled People

KPFK Disarming Itself Against Trump's Fascist Playbook by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) Trump and RFK Jr. are coming after people with disabilities, rejecting the applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Unfortunately, KPFK no longer airs the Access Unlimited program focusing on disability rights and resources that I had restored to the air, and thus has lost the capacity to be a platform for that community in [...]

Letter To the Editor

"Whose station? Our station!" Shortly before 2:30 pm on June 17, 2026 a massive chemical fire broke out at a cold-storage facility in Boyle Heights.  Desperate Angelenos turned on KPFK---only to hear news from KPFA, Berkeley, where Bay Area weather was cool and sunny with patches off fog. Seven years earlier:  October, 2019.  New Yorkers who tuned into WBAI were astounded to hear, "You're listening to KPFA."  Reps from the Pacifica National [...]

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

CALLING ALL PACIFICA RADIO MEMBERS

By Bella De Soto URGENT:  The only non-commercial national radio network, Pacifica Foundation, Inc., has been seriously threatened by a recent aggressive take-over... A Pacifica Democracy Coalition network-wide led by the membership therefore has joined to file a court intervention appeal in July 2025, to counter earlier suspicious court filings by the New Day Pacifica internal/external group to unlawfully take-over the Foundation. Pacifica comprises five stations, membership supported, whose members were left [...]

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, [...]
