The KPFA LSB condemns recent actions of individual LSB board members using Pacifica resources to post and call false KPFA LSB meetings during a time when there was not a possibility of a quorum due to Covid 19 cancellation of the live space for the scheduled live meeting, health and personal challenges of board members and a need to transition to online meetings. The calling of LSB meetings which are unauthorized by the board or officers violates the Pacifica Bylaws, confuses the public and compromise Pacifica’s posting system which serves as a data base for CPB grant applications. We ask that individual LSB members from KPFA and other stations cease and desist form posting, calling and/or arranging for unauthorized KPFA LSB meetings.
