"Pacifica iED Report - Sep. 14, 2017 :

* The Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT) lawsuit is still looming over us,
with the next court date scheduled for Oct. 4.

We have retained a PR  professional to help get more attention to how unreasonable ESRT has been. We have asked the judge to schedule oral arguments and to hear an  unconscionability defense which we have filed, as well as schedule a  settlement conference with ESRT before the judge.

At the last meeting  (in July) that was requested by ESRT, in which we expected them to make  a counter-offer, they declined to do so. "

* Pacifica's response papers were submitted earlier this week in the  "Sharon Brown-Efia Nwangaza-Adriana Casenave lawsuit"  that they have filed  against Pacifica. Next week, the court is expected to provide tentative  rulings on the motions before the court, followed by the next court  hearing date on Sep. 21. [1]

* Finally, in these days of continuing disdain for the Constitution,  civil rights, the environment, workers' rights, immigrants, and more,  I'm asking all of you to keep telling people about the importance of  Pacifica and your station - how we provide the real news, independent  music and culture, and information that other stations won't let people
hear. 

Please work this into your conversations - in person and online,  via social media, and more. 

Please encourage others at your station to tell their friends about their favorite shows. This is important not  only to help our stations grow and to help Pacifica, but to help fulfill  our educational mission. We need to let people know that our country and  our society do not have to keep making the same mistakes as before.
 

Another world is possible - let's work together to create it.

"
So, the faction that refused to pay our bills when they had a majority are suing the faction that IS paying the bills /"

                           ***********************

 The empire state building lawsuit case has to do with WBAI in New York - and each of the 5 radio stations are suppose to be separately, financially responsible. 

But anyone who donates to any 1 of these stations may wonder:  if one station fails or is indebted, how much or often or severely that loss also affects stakeholders of any of the 'sister stations' -as they are called. 

The tendency to 'help' or 'save' or to sell mortgages [as KPFK's building was once at least in danger of being sold for another one's debts ] may be Reality in $$$ numbers too.

The legalities, technicalities, loopholes and tendencies to "save" anyone and each allied group often sudden takes prominence and then Prevails in importance. 

Beware such 'helpful' gestures that result in what was once euphemistically called "domino effects". It happens.
