KPFK - Covid, Race and Democracy

As the COVID crisis has been knocked from the headlines, but not from the realities of people’s lives, by a countrywide uprising against racist police murders with impunity, Pacifica is in the process of launching its first new national radio program in many years. COVID, Race & Democracy features contributions from all five Pacifica stations — WBAI in NY, WPFW in DC, KPFT in Houston, TX, KPFK in Southern California, and KPFA/KPFB in Berkeley — plus the contributions of the Pacifica Affiliates Network, hundreds of radio stations from all around the US and beyond. The show will also feature independently produced segments as well as international elements
