The Pacifica Affiliate Network is a mutually supportive community of independent radio stations and production groups who cooperate to create and broadcast community media. We advance community- building and citizen participation by giving voice to the unique residents, visions, and environments in our local areas and raising them to a national platform.

The Pacifica Affiliate Network's mission is to advance the widespread practice and pursuit of grassroots community radio, an entrepreneurial activity to increase community radios capacity by extending the reach and benefits of Pacifica Foundation Radios infrastructure, programs and assets, and also extending the reach and assets of all stations in the network through cooperation.
