Destructive Changes at WBAI - Join the Struggle to Take It Back
Written by Administrator 5
Sunday, 30 May 2010 23:04
For the past year, WBAI Radio, 99.5 FM, one of the five Pacifica Network stations, has been under attack by the Pacifica National Board majority and the WBAI Local Station Board majority. In May 2009, without any due process, Pacifica summarily fired WBAI's Program Director (and longtime Black community activist) Bernard White, and removed its General Manager, Tony Riddle. Exploiting the station's financial crisis, Pacifica began implementing a long-term plan to impose its own brand of programming - removing community self-determination programs, particularly those by and for the Black community.

Lynne Stewart, the 70-year-old “Peoples Lawyer,” should not be in jail. Her charges, long trial and conviction are an effort at government intimidation. Lynne was ordered to prison to begin serving her sentence after her bail was revoked in November 2009, even though her appeal is still under review and her potential further appeal to the Supreme Court is pending.
In a dangerous and unprecedented higher court ruling the judge is directed to re-sentence her to a much harsher sentence then the already outrageous 28 months she is currently serving. A national mobilization of every possible level of support for Lynne Stewart is urgently needed in the coming months – BEFORE Lynne Stewart’s scheduled July 15 re-sentencing in Federal Court.
Letters, petitions, news broadcasts, interviews, announcements, resolutions, rallies – every effort to make Lynne Stewart a house hold name is urgently needed NOW. Tomorrow is too late!
