2021 WBAI Delegate Election Platform

The Justice & Unity Campaign platform places humanity at the center of of our news and advocacy.

Our campaign platform calls for the following:

  • to amplify the voices actively opposed to all injustices including the climate crisis, imperialism, neocolonialism, capitalism, racism, and discrimination.
  • to ensure the long term financial sustainability and viability of WBAI in the face of decreasing funding for public media
  • to support activist programming that places marginalized communities at the center of the news dialog.
  • to expand the news programming to link local and global dialog.
  • to support a WBAI board that models anti-Racism, anti-imperialism, and anti-capitalism.
  • to promote a WBAI board that is human-centered.
  • to support the unions of paid and unpaid staff in hiring, retention, and termination processes, and all other worker-related issues.
  • to support programming collaborations with other independent media and non-governmental organizations.
  • to implement media training programs to open spaces for disfranchised segments of the population.
  • to center the next generation of media leaders in programming.
  • to commit to forming a global vision with all Pacifica affiliations.
