Interesting question, Norman. I can suggest a few possibilities (in
all email addresses below, replace "-AT-" with "@":
(1) You could send it to KPFA here in Berkeley, which has been the
one Pacifica-owned station to retain its true role as "free speech
radio," including airing "Democracy Now! in exile" for two hours
every day.
KPFA Membership
1929 Martin Luther King Jr. Way
Berkeley, CA 94704-1037
postmaster-AT-kpfa.org, kpfa-AT-pacifica.org
(510) 848-5732
<https://secure.transbay.net/kpfa/forms/3sp_pldg.htm>
(2) You can send it to your own Pacifica station, KPFK. This would
count as part of KPFK's fundraising, but the station does send its
share to Pacifica, like the other four. If the judge upholds the
suspension of the gag rule (ruling expected by around Jan. 6-7),
KPFK's airwaves could start opening up, though the station management
may resist.
KPFK Subscriptions
3729 Cahuenga Blvd. West
North Hollywood, CA 91604-3504
(818) 985-2711 ext. 508
subscribe-AT-kpfk.org

KPFT Membership

Houston, Texas 77006-4018
(713) 526-4000 ext. 314
membership-AT-kpft.org
http://www.kpft.org/pledgeform.htm
(Don't enter your credit card; KPFT will call you for the info)
(3) If you want to support "Democracy Now!" specifically, you could
donate to "DN!" Since "DN!" is in negotiations to become a separately
produced entity licensed to Pacifica, it is collecting its own funds:
Democracy Now
Payable to "Inst. Media Analysis/War & Peace Report"
P.O. Box 693
New York, NY 10013-0693
mail-AT-democracynow.org
http://www.democracynow.org/donate.htm
(4) You can send a contribution directly to Pacifica Foundation:
Pacifica Foundation
Attn. Joanne Meredith
2390 Champlain St NW, 2nd fl.
Washington DC 20009-2733
(More info: <http://www.pacifica.org/pledge/pldg5900.html>)
Sorry I can't give a single, definitive response, but I do feel your
choice should be based on what you feel most comfortable with, in
terms of where your donation is most likely to do what you want it to.

Good afternoon --
You may be aware that "Democracy Now!" did not return to Pacifica
radio station airwaves today. According to Leslie Cagan, Chairperson
of the Pacifica Interim National Board, Pacifica must first release
the back pay of the "DN!" staff, and decisions must be made by
stations as to whether they will carry one hour or both hours of the
expanded "DN!" program.
Ms. Cagan's memorandum about the status of "Democracy Now!", and
future updates as we receive them, may be found on Progressive Portal
at:

Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve.
Peace,
