Thank you for 20 Years of Activism: We need you to ensure we grow for another 20 yrs!
Activist San Diego is celebrating its 20th year of social justice action and mobilization. ASD was mobilizing 18 year before the Trump "election" so we called for a demonstration the day afterward, as we had done when GW Bush got "selected". ASD was there with you to co-found the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice the day after 911; SDCPJ led the peace demonstrations. ASD was involved in youth organizing, in immigrant rights actions, in media justice by establishing KNSJ as a voice for progressive news and views and in establishing an Activist Center as a networker & resource for other non-profits. ASD has been involved in issues of police brutality since 1999 and helped initiate the
Racial Justice Coalition in 2017-18.
OUR VISION & YOUR HELP! We are seeking to be an organization led by peoples of color, with strong women's leadership; an org which is multi-generational and gender diverse. We want to be builders of unity and left-progressive coalitions. Join as a member and please give a sustaining contribution Please take 2 minutes and Give NOW! so that ASD & KNSJ can be around for another 20 years and beyond.

Activist Board of Directors elects by its Board members. Come check us out. Info@ActivistSanDiego.org

KNSJ is the only station bringing consistently progressive news, information & more local music

Your donation supports...

KNSJ 89.1 fm is just 5 1/2 years old, but we have broken new ground. What you hear on KNSJ has never been heard on the San Diego airwaves. Without the deeper analysis and challenging perspectives, we can not expect a community to participate in shaping its destiny. KNSJ is young, yearning to become an agent of transformative information and communications.
Our syndicated programs not only tell national and international stories, we are striving to inspire local action and involvement. What other station has a local women's show, a masterfully-produced political humor show, a Vets show, several environmental shows, labor shows, a live Native American talk show, plus Democracy Now with Amy Goodman, Thom Hartman, Ralph Nader and local icon Mike Aguirre?
This year we have been adding a new locally-produced music show every month. We have just begun our quest for indispensable information in San Diego. We need your help to blossom. Please, Please, donate now. Your support can help transform San Diego.

DEAR LISTENERS AND SUPPORTERS!
WE NEED YOUR HELP !
YOUR DONATION CAN ASSURE PROGRESSIVE VIEWS GET HEARD !

At the mic Activist San Diego's President, Buki Domingos and at the Podium MC Mohamed Abdallah lead the crowd at the Immigration March and Impeachment March in front of the City and County Building. These were just a few of the rallies in which ASD helped bring the community together to resist the administration's efforts to stir up racism and prejudice.
