Dear co-workers,
I am asking you to support my candidacy for the upcoming Local
Station Board (LSB).
As a long-time activist, as well as co-producer for Voices of the Middle East and North Africa for the past five years, I have had the opportunity to develop an extensive network of working relationships with many important and diverse organizations across the Bay Area, the U.S. and the Middle East.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating closely on issues of peace and social, racial and gender justice with several local institutions, organizing and promoting community causes, rallying support and shoring up solidarity both within the communities themselves and from society at large.
I think we would all agree that the future of KPFA resides in extensively broadening its listener base in several important new directions: more gender content, a more inclusive ethnic base and certainly younger generations of potential listeners. In my view, development in these areas will insure not only the continuity but the growth of our audience, while encouraging new ideas and innovation.
If I am elected to the LSB, I will work toward fulfilling the following objectives:
Having been an activist for many years, as a programmer at KPFA and having served on both Unpaid Staff Organization Council and Program Council, I believe I can play a constructive role as your representative on the Local Station Board to make KPFA a more conspicuous institution and a better place for all of us to work.
