KNSJ Tribute to Pete Seeger
Posted on: Feb 13 2014 in Events with 0 Comments
A KNSJ Tribute to Pete Seeger
Legendary folk singer, activist, environmentalist, leftist, songwriter, and troubadour extraordinaire, Pete Seeger, passed away on Monday, 27 January, 2014.
This very weekend KNSJ held a tribute concert to Pete Seeger thanks to our invitation of George Mann, who joined us in this musical retrospective celebration of his life. We may have been the last sing-along event of Pete’s songs, while he was still alive. As part of the audience, we were uplifted by his spirit and words … “if I had a hammer, I’d singing in the morning, I’d sing it in the evening, all over this land … It’s a song of justice, it’s a song of freedom, it’s a song of love between my brother and my sister all over this land, all over this land …”
Tuesday morning Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! spent the bulk of the broadcast celebrating the life and contributions of Pete Seeger and his cultural activism. Listeners were reminded just how important the programming of our new community radio station is to our values and our information, knowing that KNSJ is the only local station to be honoring Pete Seeger today. This tribute is but one of 1000 reasons why we need a strong and vibrant, and culturally poignant people-powered radio.
Just a week before Activist San Diego and KNSJ spent the evening at the Joyce Beers Community Center highlighting the importance that culture plays in building a social movement for social justice. Pete Seeger’s life is the embodiment of what it means to be a tribune of the people, a transformer of the existing social order with an undying optimism that “we shall overcome, someday.”
In an interview with Amy Goodman, Pete said that we often look and feel that our small efforts are futile, but when hundreds and thousands of us each pick up a tool and chip away at the barriers to social progress, mountains can be moved. As Pete Seeger lays down his banjo at the age of 94, may 100s of us stand up to take his place and sustain a cultural, educational and social movement with the same love, optimism and conviction that he embodied throughout nearly a century of activism.
With love from all of us,
Pete Seeger, Presente!
Martin Eder for ASD and KNSJ
KNSJ will be at the Peace Bazaar!

Sunday, April 21, 2013 • 10am – 5pm
The world’s largest annual environmental fair and Earth Day Celebration. ASD & KNSJ has the ability to reach huge numbers of people about the launching of the radio station and the need to build an activist movement on the issue of climate change…. “No War, no Warming” build an economy for the people and the planet!
Activist San Diego was launched on Earth Day 14 years ago. ever since we have had booths and information distribution at Earth Day. it is a been a place that all of our members can get involved and a way in which we can meet hundreds of people distribute our materials to thousands.
This year it will be particularly important because we have two campaigns that are at a critical point.
First – KNSJ will be launching its broadcasting in April so this is our first opportunity to get people to tune in to what we are doing, find new volunteers and to circulate around the park getting interviews with 100 of the nonprofit organizations that are there. we will also be getting interviews with the public about what they want to see in a new listener supported community radio station.
Second – Activist San Diego is in the early stages of building a new campaign as part of our affiliation with GGJ (GRASSROOTS GLOBAL Justice) and the “No War, no Warming” build an economy for the people and the planet! we want your help to make this organizing effort a reality and build a team to sustain that effort.

KNSJ Mourns Talk of the Town Host Douglas Holbrook

Douglas Holbrook, former Activist San Diego president and daily KNSJ show host, passed away as a result of cardiac arrest.The sudden loss to his family, friends and to our organization and radio station, which he loved and dedicated so much time to in the last year is hard to comprehend in this sudden turn of events ... Reminding us how precious our relationships are and the passions and principles which bind us.On behalf of the Activist Sand Diego board we send our condolences to family, friends and coworkers.

It is not too late! You helped bring KNSJ to life, now help it survive and THRIVE!

A year ago today there was doubt in some quarters that Activist San Diego (ASD) would make good on its promise to build a community radio station for YOU! The 6-year effort, a 500 step project, with $40,000 magnanimously raised from the grassroots progressive community, culminated on July 4th with the birth of Independent, people-powered radio KNSJ 89.1 FM. It was born, the offspring of hope and determination, the marriage of passion for justice and the clarion of communication.As a proud parent you gave it a name, NSJ, the Network for Social Justice. You want to see it grow out of diapers and assume a prominent position transforming the political landscape of our region. You now want to feed our new voice of independence to help it survive and thrive.Your stipend, your contribution of even $2-$10 a month will make a HUGE difference in media justice in San Diego, a small price to pay for the single greatest megaphone to be nurtured by the progressive community. Perhaps you want to gift your car or vehicle as if it were graduation day like Jay, Craig and Larry did. Call 619-871-9354 and we will take care of all the details.HELP! We need $10,000 to buy the tools of Community Radio, portable microphones and high quality recorders for the budding journalists. Perhaps we can inscribe your name on a recorder or apply your name to the studio that we are building in central San Diego.Who owns KNSJ 89.1 FM? You do! Your membership and donations to KNSJ and ASD (the FM license holder) keep the treasure of community radio in public hands.WHO SUPPORTS KNSJ? We do not take money from large corporations, no Monsanto or Walmarts need apply — this means “Freedom to Program” critical and controversial content, but it also means your responsibility to support critical projects. Our annual reports are made to you!HELP KNSJ DEVELOP A VISION of Non-commercial, Listener-Supported, non-partisan, Community Radio — by the people, of the people and for the people. We want and need your input as well as your donations. Send us your programming ideas, your grand vision of a radio station that serves as a collective organizer, a tribune of the people, a voice for the disenfranchised.24 hr / 7 days a week KNSJ was born to be the Paul Revere of East County and the San Diego border region. “NSA is coming! — on the backs of Big Pharma, Big Banks, Media Monopolies, Energy Megalomaniacs, War Profiteers and Corporate Conglomerates.” As our voice develops you will nurture local journalism and storytelling about the successes of informed citizens who get information, get organized and inspired social change.

Not a member/donor yet? Celebrate our first year and our journey of continous improvement — DONATE NOW!

Today, please consider giving a sustaining contribution of $3 to $30 a month to grow Community Radio

We are still 100% volunteer driven, but we want to offer more, more local news, more dynamic programming, more local culture, more compelling stories, more inspiration, more social justice information.It is easy as clicking the Donate Now button on this page! Your support comes with the continuing satisfaction that you are liberating the airwaves and spreading your values far and wide.Thank YOU from all of us!

KNSJ's call letters reflect its mission: Networking for Social Justice.

With the transmitter and tower at over 6200 feet in the Laguna Mountains, KNSJ's signal can be heard from the US-Mexico border to Highway 52, from the East County mountains to the bay and the entire central San Diego. The estimated potential listenership is over 1 million plus streaming live online for our global listeners.KNSJ has pledged to train scores of "citizen journalists" to report on the untold stories people in San Diego. While the bulk of KNSJ's programming will be news and education, KNSJ will be a conduit to local artists from all walks of life. Our objective is to have a quarter of our music shows locally produced, and most all of our programs will be provided by volunteer producers.KNSJ was “Born on the 4th of July,” initiating with a full day of live broadcasting plus audio and video streaming on KNSJ.org. The public was invited to come down to the World Beat Center at 2100 Park Boulevard in Balboa Park to celebrate a new era in our city. From 7-8 AM the broadcast emanated out of Descanso with the voices of local mountain residents. KNSJ will pick up ongoing national programming from Pacifica Radio, the BBC, Thom Hartman and Amy Goodman.For more information contact: Martin Eder 619-871-9354 / / KNSJ at 619-283-1100

KNSJ Musical Director Robert Ur Helps Artists Find a Voice on the San Diego Airwaves
Posted on: Jun 6 2014 in KNSJ News with 0 Comments
By Rob Andrews
It’s a Tuesday at 8pm, and I’m worried. I just drove 12 miles to see a small musical venue and get a minute to talk to our newest addition.
At Cosmos in La Mesa, Rob Ur sits on a table covered with release forms. Artists with their guitars, friends, and music lovers pack the seats, coffee and applause in hand.
“Hey man,” he says through his warm smile. “We should talk, but right now, take a look, this is great!”
Rob Ur is a long time musical artist dedicated to those looking for a stage. He’s part of the KNSJ team, and he’s looking for more great artists that want their work to be heard.

Your People-Powered Antenna Has Been Mounted!
Posted on: May 1 2013 in KNSJ News
Activist San Diego and KNSJ Radio Announce:
Your “People Powered” ANTENNA has been mounted!!
A crew of five people went up to Monument Peak to tackle the most difficult equipment issue that has faced KNSJ; after securing a contract to rent tower space, we mounted our high end, $15,000 custom-built antenna on the tower!
So as of May Day 2013 KNSJ’s antenna has been installed at 6300 feet elevation pointing toward San Diego and the coast. We feel a great sense of satisfaction that we have gotten to this point and thank all of you who have donated and pledged to make this groundbreaking project a reality.
Please keep the pledges coming as we will have $2000 a month in ongoing expenses and are looking to raise another $1200 a month in pledges for our first part time station manager and staff. Please click here to make a donation.
We are not ready to go on the air until we take up the $5000 transmitter, the $2400 emergency response equipment, satellite down-link and submit our certifications to the FCC. All of this can easily take us to the end of May, give or take a couple of weeks. Nevertheless, after six years effort, we feel like we are only minutes away from broadcasting and streaming on KNSJ.org
We will count on you to build our listenership, our membership, our crew of citizen journalists and our monthly pledges. This is your radio station, people powered radio, eager to give voice to the voiceless.
Thanks to the many heroes who have stuck with this project and all who are now coming forward to breathe life into this vision of “information, communication and mobilization”.
To all of you,
The KNSJ members, founders and Leadership Council

On behalf of all of us in ACTIVIST SAN DIEGO, an organization which you co-founded and which you nurtured for 11 years till the day you left SD, we celebrate you Tanja! You breathed life into the idea of KNSJ, the San Diego Community Radio Project … You were there for the people (be they Nicaraguans, Iraqi or Americans) and you are loved and respected for your deep commitment to walking the walk on the road to social justice. What a fabulous journey.

Praise from the Pros

“I’ve been in radio for more than 20 years now and it excites me to discover that a group of activists in San Diego has banded together to create a radio station dedicated to supporting and informing its local community members including those whose first language is other than English. Your plans for KNSJ 89.1 FM are inspiring and I applaud your efforts.”

Tavis Smiley

If you are like me and believe in fighting for social justice and equality so all can enjoy living free without duress and prejudice because it is the next right thing to do then KNSJ will be the radio station for you. But in order to keep my eventual program and many of the others on the air, so we truly bring democracy and fairness back to the San Diego airwaves KNSJ needs listener support. Read more…

Philip Racuel

Jim Hightower, a national radio commentator, writer, public speaker, New York Times best-selling author, and today’s “Johnny Appleseed” of progressive populism has for decades been a champion and supporter of community radio and has this to say about KNSJ. FM Radio:

“More than a spot on the dial, KNSJ 89.1 FM Radio Descanso/San Diego and KNSJ.org Networking For Social Justice — is radio of, by and for the people. It’s Community Radio at its best – Transformative, Accessible, Affordable. Unlike corporate media, KNSJ FM and KNSJ.org, help put the unity in the San Diego community, linking listeners to information, organization, harmonization and action.”

Farewell, Casey Kasem

Casey Kasem (1932-2014), a true giant of American radio, passed away on June 15, 2014. More than a historical figure in the media, he was a vegan and an activist against factory farming. He was active in politics for years, supporting Lebanese-American and Arab-American causes, and he wrote a brochure published by the Arab American Institute entitled “Arab-Americans: Making a Difference.” He called for a fairer depiction of heroes and villains, on behalf of all cultures, in Disney’s 1994 sequel to “Aladdin” called “The Return of Jafar.” KNSJ pays tribute to an exceptional life of activism on behalf of social justice.
