"Thandisizwe Chimurenga is an award winning, Los Angeles-based freelance journalist and writer. She is a former reporter, producer and co-anchor for Free Speech Radio News as well as the KPFK Evening News (Pacifica-Los Angeles). FSRN was a national/international worker-run collective that pioneered the decentralized newsroom model with production staff in different cities around the world. It was carried by more than 100 independent community radio stations across the US and short wave radio around the globe from 2000-2017. KPFK, part of the 5-station Pacifica Radio Network, is one of the most powerful terrestrial radio stations in the Western United States with a broadcast signal of more than 100,000 watts. Chimurenga has also provided audio commentaries for several programs on the Pacifica Network and has produced/hosted public affairs radio programming for more than a decade. Most recently, she co-produced and narrated a half hour feature called ""#SayHerName: Black women, Police Violence and Abolition"" for Making Contact, a magazine/documentary-style public affairs program distributed to 140 radio stations in the USA, Canada, South Africa and Ireland via the National Radio Project. Her print journalism has appeared in or at New America Media; the Los Angeles Watts Times, Sentinel and Wave newspapers; the San Francisco Bayview Newspaper; the Oakland Post Newspaper; the Final Call; Black Agenda Report; Ebony; CounterPunch, Truth-Out, TruthDig, the San Francisco Chronicle, Mint Press News and Daily Kos. Chimurenga is also engaged in community service. Over the years she has been a member or supporter of a number of Revolutionary/Pan African/Cultural Nationalist organizations. Currently, she serves on the Board of Directors of Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi. Cooperation Jackson is an internationally recognized, emerging vehicle for sustainable community development, economic democracy, and community ownership that will (hopefully) lead toward the democratization of our economy and society."
