Restore Julian Assange Support Program to WBAI
WBAI Radio has abruptly terminated Randy Credico's widely praised program "Julian Assange: Countdown to Freedom" for reasons it refuses to reveal. But station management can be persuaded to change its mind if enough listeners protest.
With Joe Biden doubling down on Trump’s efforts to imprison Assange for up to 175 years – and the cowardly corporate media turning its back on Assange after winning countless awards by publishing his exposes of U.S. war crimes – Julian needs all the help he can get. And the help that Randy has been providing is vital.
As you know, Randy is a renowned political satirist, civil rights activist and former director of The William Moses Kunstler Fund For Racial Justice. For the last 4 years he has been providing profound insights on Julian Assange's political case and what it means in a historical context for today's truth tellers.
Randy visited Julian at the Ecuadoran embassy in London and is actively coordinating public support for him in the U.S. and abroad. Because he has a knack for circumventing media disinformation and official deceit, he is able to bring his audience live-audio debriefings from Assange’s defense attorneys and frontline reports from the journalists, whistle blowers and activists who are fighting to protect Assange from a lifetime sentence behind the bars of a U.S. maximum security penitentiary.
Every week Randy has been delivering explosive inside scoops and analysis by prominent guests like Cornel West, John Pilger, Stefania Maurizi, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Maté, Ben Norton, Stephen Kinzer, Abby Martin, Craig Murray, Nils Melzer, Jesselyn Radack, John Kiriakou, George Galloway, Roger Waters, Greg Palast, Harry Belafonte, Pamela Anderson, Lee Camp, Margaret Ratner Kunstler, Frank Serpico, Ralph Nader, Ray McGovern, and many more.
Small wonder his program has a huge world-wide audience and is praised by leading progressive voices. Until now, WBAI, led by Randy’s broadcasts, has been a beacon of sanity and justice in the fight to get Assange released so Wikileaks can continue holding powerful governments accountable for crimes against humanity.
Please help continue this effort by signing the petition to restore "Assange: Countdown to Freedom" to WBAI's airwaves.

I am honestly a bit stunned by the sheer volume of people who have stepped up for this cause. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I am just the person who started the page. Thank you for showing that this program still has a home in the hearts of so many listeners.

Randy Credico's important program is one of the most informative on WBAI, especially his reporting on Julian Assange, and should be immediately reinstated. As a former member of the Pacifica National Board (2004) from WBAI, I am outraged that such censorship has crept into WBAI.
Another sad commentary on our times. Zero mainstream media coverage of the Stundin story and now they have silenced one of Assange's staunchest supporters. Outrageous and unconscionable! Randy, you will be sorely missed!
Independent media outlets must speak out for Julian Assange, because if the US government can imprison him for publishing truthful information exposing US crimes, then it can imprison any journalist for doing work it doesn't like. Randy Credico has rightfully drawn needed attention to this very important issue.
As a guest of the show and a campaigner for Assange, I can attest to the breadth, depth, and the value of Assange Countdown to Freedom. To cut this program down now, when such major Assange news is breaking (US star witness recants, UK high court allows appeal) makes no sense.
Randy Credico has been on the front lines of efforts to save Assange's life for years now and has done a great job. Now that Assange is about to win his case due to the lies of a key witness WBAI is stopping his voice? Ridiculous!!
Free Julian Assange! Free Mumia Abu Jamal! Free Leonard Peltier! US Imperialism: Get Your Bloody Hands Off the World!
Free Julian!

Randy's show offers a highly diverse range of insightful and knowledgeable guests which is rare in the US media landscape. His programme, which continues to shed light on the single most consequential case involving media freedom and the public's right to know, should be supported and promoted not cancelled.
