In via e-amil, a Call to Action from Media Alliance and the Pacifica Campaign:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH DEMOCRACY NOW!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When: Tuesday, August 28
Where: Your Local Pacifica or community radio station
What: Show solidarity with Amy Goodman and the Democracy Now! staff

Amy Goodman and the Democracy Now! team have been suspended without pay
for insisting on violence-free workplace. And Democracy Now!, which is
being produced from a safe site in lower Manhattan and not Pacifica
station WBAI, has been yanked off the air.

At WBAI, the Democracy Now! staff have been physically and verbally
attacked by interim station manager Utrice Leid and other Leid
loyalists. When Pacifica senior management ignored their repeated
written requests that something be done about the intolerable
atmosphere of intimidation and threats, they felt they had no choice
but to fashion some interim solution last week
and find a safe and secure workplace to produce the show.

No worker should be forced to report to a job site where they are
physically attacked by supervisors and where staff members go on the
air to urge their physical destruction. Let's stand in solidarity with
Democracy Now! on Tuesday, August 28.
