What Brian asked. The t-shirt is not listed as a premium on the KPFA donation pages.
Ditto to Brian and Drew’s question. I need me a Papa Lindsey shirt, but it’s not listed on the web donation page. I guess I can try calling the 1-800 number if nothing else.
We haven’t been able to get the shirt u onto the web donation form – sorry abut that. We’ll keep trying But you can get it by calling 1-800-439-5732 or 510-848-5732. Thank you!
The batik shirt is available with a $100 pledge and only by calling (510) 848-5732 or (800) 439-5732.
