Margaret Prescod

My activism began as a youth growing up in the village in the Caribbean under Third World conditions of poverty and hard work. Since immigrating to the US I have collectively helped to build several local, national and international independent/non-aligned, anti-sexist and anti-racist networks focused on campaigning for people and caring of the environment to be the aim of society, not war and profit. Within this context I led a UN delegation with the support of more than 2,000 Non Governmental Organizations world wide and succeeded in winning passage of a resolution (one that was opposed by the US and other G8 countries) that governments must count and value unwaged caring work in the home, on the land and in the community. The most recent implementation of this resolution is the Constitution of Venezuela as it relates to women’s rights. I have worked on issues ranging from welfare rights, to police brutality and illegality, to pay equity, to grants and other support for university students, to anti-war and anti-intervention to name a few. In addition to caring for my family, my life has been dedicated to this work. As a volunteer programmer hosting and producing Sojourner Truth, I also bring an intimate knowledge of strengths and needs within the station of both paid and unpaid staff. Paid and unpaid staff are interdependent, we all need each other and I have worked for resources and supported both. Those of you who know me, or my work, know that I am hardworking, principled and aim to be fair.

Steve Pride

I have been a KPFK volunteer programmer for the past 10 years working on the weekly LGBT radio magazine IMRU. My work on that show has garnered KPFK five Golden Mike Awards from the RADIO & TELEVISION NEWS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (RTNA).. I currently serve on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the Washington D.C. based NATIONAL LESBIAN AND GAY JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION (NLGJA). I also head their Arts & Entertainment Reporters Caucus and serve on the Diversity Oversight Committee, the Fundraising/Development Task Force, the Chapter Diversity Programming Task Force, the LGBT Media Task Force and I was PRESIDENT of the NLGJA 150 member Los Angeles Chapter for four years.

So I what I would bring to the KPFK LAB is a love of radio journalism, proven leadership, the ability to listen to diverse opinions and help mold a consensus, vision and perhaps most importantly as a gay man, a person over 50 years old, and a stroke survivor living each day with physical challenges I have a very personal commitment to the goal of inclusion and a belief in the Pacifica Mission.
