I am Akio Tanaka, a KPFA Protectors endorsed candidate for the KPFA Local Station Board. I am part of the New Day Pacifica national team working to improve the Pacifica Bylaws and governance.

Lew Hill said, “Anyone can understand the rationale of listener sponsorship—that unless the station is supported by those who value it, no one can listen to it including those who value it.  This is common sense.“

Pacifica is in crisis because some stations are not self-supporting year after year.
The current National Board has been unable to address this problem.
We need a National Board that can address this problem.

I ask you to vote for me and others on the KPFA Protectors to end the current disfunctional governance.

Please VOTE for me Akio Tanaka and the KPFA Protectors Candidates. For more information about KPFA Protectors please go to kpfaprotectors.org.
