From the Occupy the Airwaves archives, enjoy our conversation with co-host Paki Weiland from 2023.
Occupy the Airwaves is grieving the passing of our cohost and friend. Paki was a dedicated activist whose energy for the causes she cared about and the people she loved was endless. She was a force in nearly all local movements and peace movements. Paki was a long-time member of an anti-nuclear arms affinity group and was recently prosecuted, along with several other protestors, for blocking an arms company facility (and won!) locally. Her spunk, wisdom, and good humor will be missed by many people across this nation and especially by her friends and family here in the Pioneer Valley. We send our condolences to her loving family and our deep gratitude to the Universe for the gift that was her life. ~Bob, Emikan, Linda, Miranda, and Stephen
