If you care enough to be a member of KPFK, your vote may put help put it back
on course.
Peace and Freedom Party of L.A. urges everyone who is concerned about the
direction our KPFK has been going recently to cast your ballot for all the
candidates on the GrassrootsKPFK slate.
GrassrootsKPFK principles: peace with justice, migrants rights, defense of
the earth, gender equity, bilingual and non-English programming, workers
rights, accountability, transparency, a local focus, and quality broadcasting.
These are the values and goals that reflect our communities and this is what
KPFK should be about.
The candidates on the Grassroots KPFK slate will rejuvenate the station with
an intergenerational and multicultural perspective, and all are active and
effective in community struggles: Brenda Medina, graduate student in Chicana/o
Studies, Aryana Gladney, a single mother and grassroots organizer in the Black
Riders Liberation, Chuck Anderson, Peace and Freedoms Orange County
chairperso, who is also a leader in O.C. Veterans for Peace and A.C.L.U.
Lawrence Reyes, social worker and union activist in SEIU local 721, and
co-chair of local 721s Latino/a caucus. Ron Spriestersbach, a lifelong
learner and activist who would like moreKPFK coverage of the environment and
global warming. Michael Novick, retired LAUSD schoolteacher and former union
shop steward , who for years has published a valuable community resource: the
anti-racist newspaper, Turning the Tide Lydia Brazon, boldly and
unequivocally calls for more Spanish-language and interlingual programs. All l
these folks have demonstrated their abilities to connect with the community
both listening and leading, and they are who KPFK needs at the helm.
GrassrootsKPFKs candidates have served on every committee of the Local Station
Board and they all attend Local Station Board meetings.

If youve been troubled by KPFKs drift away from community based programming
and mainstream programming, if you want KPFK to re-committ to fiscal
transparency, democracy and a commitment to multicultural, multilingual
programming, vote for the Grassroots candidate slate.
Make your vote count by ranking these candidates in whatever order you choose:
Lydia Brazon
Aryana Gladney
Brenda Medina

Ron Spriestersbach
Chuck Anderson
Do not rank candidates that you do not support. Vote now, and mail your vote
now. Your ballot must be received by the station by Septembeber 30, 2010 to be
counted. Help these folks return KPFK to it's true purpose and place as voice
for diversity and class-struggle.
In solidarity,
Cindy Henderson
