Activists throughout Southern California are stunned and grieved by the sudden death of Don White, well known Southern California activist and KPFK Local Station Board member. Don White contributed more than most to the movements for peace and justice, including his work with CISPES which is the Committee in Support of the People of El Salvador, Office of the Americas, numerous peace, anti-war, anti-intervention, pro-immigrants rights groups and coalitions, the Ad Hoc Working Group on Haiti, mass protests and more.
