[a note from Brian DeShazor, Director, PRA]
The Pacifica Radio Archives (PRA) staff is proud to announce that yesterday we, the entire network together, raised $117,000 on-air during our 19 hour broadcast. With a $50,000 matching gift from a generous individual in Washington D.C. we exceeded our $135,000 goal for a grand total of $167,000. We still have another $115,000 to go to meet our 2007 budget requirements, but are well on our way.
What do Jackson Browne, Cesar Chavez, Arthur C. Clarke, Angela Davis, Ossie Davis, Samuel R. Delaney, Duke Ellington, Allen Ginsberg, Robert F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, Rosa Parks, Bonnie Raitt, Ayn Rand, Rob Reiner, Bobby Seale, Harry Shearer, Gloria Steinem, Alan Watts and dozens of other figures from our collective political, artistic and social heritage all have in common?
