These 2026 Network Candidates do not support the “NEW DAY PACIFICA” Take-over actions, by replacing the Pacifica Foundation founding Bylaws since 1947 on April 3rd, 2025, with an undemocratic Bylaws. See Candidate List below…

We are compelled to recruit donations for two current related Fundraisers: Court Case against the many wrongs conducted to the Pacifica Foundation, Inc Membership. Aiming to reverse the top down unelected Bylaws (4-03-25), hopefully restore our founding Bylaws and undue much of the harm committed in our name (Membership) without consent. And assist with costly fees for sending Email Blasts and Postcards to the Membership, which should be covered by the Foundation like every other such organization. Please help us win this tremendous cause.

Published on 10-16-23 a Recall Petition of the Pacifica Network culpable PNB-Pacifica National Board Directors responsible for many violations of the Pacifica Foundation Bylaws starting in 2021. These actions laid out the blueprint plan for the April 3rd, 2025 take-over of the Foundation: https://www.change.org/freepacificalive-recallpetition

And through Word Press platform: https://freepacifica.live/freepacifica-live-recall-petition/ to endorse it go to the Change.org site.

This current Election is being conducted under very questionable processes. Please do not give away your vote to “New Day Pacifica” Candidates.

The Pacifica Mission Coalition is raising funds for several outreach mailers to the Pacifica Radio Network Membership to promote our Slate Candidates and educate them about internal current events they have been kept in the dark from. For the first time in this election cycle, such effort that should be covered by the Foundation has been passed down to the Candidates and is very costly. We must send Email Blasts and Postcards. **Please help us at: https://www.crowdfunder.com/p/pmc-election-fund https://secure.electionbuddy.com/ballot/MF33-5LTS-6GLD-DTHV/confirmation
