I am Minerva Sanders running for reelection as the PNB Vice Chair with Pacifica Forward candidates.
As Vice Chair since 2024 and a former WPFW Board Chair I champion community outreach and participation. I actively support WBAI’s in-depth independent news reporting and powerful, inspiring music. I look forward to working with all of our Pacifica Stations— collaborating and expanding our social media communications, hosting progressive author, music and film events, fund raising, grant writing and membership building. With the new bylaws we can now roll up our sleeves and get to work letting our diverse communities know about the amazing peace and social justice programming at KPFA, KPFK, KPFT, WPFW and WBAI and the 200+ Pacifica affiliates, and Pacifica’s historic archives.
I have also Chaired the Pacific Audit Committee which is urgently engaged in bringing Pacifica into non profit compliance with the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 Audits. Our Pacifica Forward coalition is dedicated to strengthening Pacifica operational capacity through fiscal accountability, with new well- functioning accounting software and responsible budgeting to protect our mission and assets. Through responsible fiscal management and improvements we can help Pacifica to realize its potential as a powerful peace and social justice radio network.
I live in the Washington DC area and have recently retired from a career in government service with FEMA. I understand the urgent need for independent media to help keep our communities and families safe and informed in these challenging times.
Please vote for me and Pacifica Forward Candidates. We are endorsed by: Evelia Jones, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Egberto Willies
