Friends,

Today's live broadcast of Democracy Now! was yanked off the air by
Pacifica and replaced by a tape of an old DN show.

This unprecedented action occurred after all-night negotiations = between
the management and Goodman broke down early this morning. Goodman
notified Pacifica yesterday that she could no longer originate the = show
at WBAI in New York due to the continual intimidation and = harassment
she was experiencing at the hands of interim station manage Utrice

She offered instead to originate the program from Downtown = Community

a safe working environment, and she proceeded to do just that this
morning. The originating of programming - national and local -- = from
remote locations is not unheard of. Gary Null's Natural Living and

But Pacifica lawyers, who had not responded to numerous letters and
complaints from Amy about the increasing harassment she had faced = in
recent weeks, refused yesterday to either guarantee her a safe work
environment or agree to allow her to broadcast from someplace else.

The escalating harassment against Goodman included an incident last
Friday where Leid physically shoved her during a heated discussion; = the
removal of Democracy Now! from the main production studio of WBAI,
continued on-air personal attacks on Amy by staff members close to

by management, even slanderous statements about Goodman that = continue
to appear on Pacifica's official web page.

No one should be forced to work under such conditions, and = certainly
