in the DAILY VIGIL at the Station Call
vigil coordinator Paul Surovell, at 973-762-3115 A daily vigil is held outside WBAI offices at 120 Wall Street, Monday through Friday from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM. We have placards, flyers, and sometimes banners, demanding the reinstatement of the fired and banned, and an end to censorship at WBAI. The vigil is attended by 2-6 people at a time. It's small and low-key, but persistent and highly visible.
We
need additional support from those Concerned Friends who are not
currently involved in the vigil, and we also welcome new faces to
the struggle. Please contact vigil coordinator, Paul
Surovell, to let us know when you can attend. You will enjoy
yourself while having an impact on the struggle to Save WBAI.

Demonstrate 'Bring
Back Robert Knight!' Thursday, July 26 and Monday, July 30 *
BRING BACK ROBERT KNIGHT AND ALL THE FIRED AND BANNED! We encourage you to bring your masks, as we will also be protesting the Orwellian installation of 7 videocameras all over the station, which several of us staff members -- including the 3 staff members of Democracy Now -- have responded to by wearing masks inside the station.
Court
Date for the Listeners Arrested at Their Station - Wednesday, August
1 In January, in the dead of winter, faithful WBAI listener-sponsors gathered at their station - the one they paid for and volunteered at. They came to have their legally sanctioned meeting but left in handcuffs! Please come out and support our WBAI brothers and sisters as they face their day in court!

ZAP ACTION!! In recent days, WBAI Interim Station Manager Utrice Leid has escalated her attacks on free speech. On Monday, she intruded on Ken Nash's program Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report, yanked both him and Congressman Major Owens off the air for their criticism of WBAI's repression of free speech (and for Ken's statement denouncing the unjustified firing and banning of co-host Mimi Rosenberg), and canceled the program. In addition, Ms. Leid barred Amy Goodman from co-hosting the morning program (eight years after co-founding the program with Bernard White) and removed Robert Knight as morning news anchor. Ms. Leid also reprimanded Knight for airing on Earthwatch (Wed. into Thurs. from midnight - 1:30) a tape of statements and protests at the Pacifica National Board meeting in Houston and an interview with Board member John Murdock. Finally, Ms. Leid demanded that Bill Weinberg, CO-host of The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade (Tues. into Wed. from midnight - 1:30) with Ann-Marie Hendrickson, provide her with a tape of their show from Tuesday, March 6, 2001 that included criticism of station and network policy.

is driving much of the current policy Tell
