From socialjustice at sti.net Mon Apr 2 12:52:49 2007 From: socialjustice at sti.net (Vickie Fouts) Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 11:52:49 -0800 Subject: [FFCF-Fundraising] Angela Davis Event Message-ID: <002d01c77560$832ca5c0$6501a8c0@Fouts> I am happy to report that Angela Davis is interested in coming to Fresno for a co-sponsored event for KFCF and California Prison Moratorium Project. Debbie Reyes with California Prison Moratorium Project has been in contact with Angela and hopes to attend our outreach meeting this evening. Debbie told me Angela wants a summary about KFCF and the purpose of having an event. I have written up a short piece which is below. Please feel free to make comments or changes and we can discuss it further this evening. Vickie Fresno Free College Foundation (FFCF) is a community-based membership organization dedicated to the principles that the well-being of the community is measured by the respect that it shows for the civil liberties, intellectual and artistic freedom of its citizens, and that the exercise of this freedom enriches the individual and society as a whole. Since 1968, the Foundation has provided a flexible and responsive institutional structure for fostering the intellectual and political growth of the community. FFCF began broadcasting KFCF 88.1 FM on June 9, 1975. The majority of KFCF broadcasting is from Pacifica Radio station KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley which is KFCF's affiliate/network. KFCF also airs several local social justice, public affairs and music programs. The purpose of bringing Angela Davis to Fresno for a co-sponsored event with Fresno's California Prison Moratorium Project is multi-fold. By having a free event at CSU Fresno we hope to inform students and the community about current prison issues in California and to inform them about KFCF & California Prison Moratorium Project. With a separate fundraising event we hope to give the community the ability to hear Angela Davis in a more intimate surrounding and to allow the community to give financial support to both FFCF/KFCF and California Prison Moratorium Project. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
