Andrea Turner
- As a Cultural Activist, I span many years “with” diverse public, private and inter-faith community voices calling for social justice venues.
- I believe WE are ALL artists in the full sense of its meaning to have a VOICE to provide the underpinnings for social change: literary, visual performing and other creative skills to UNITE our communities.
- I coordinate and sing with Vukani Mawethu-a multi-racial community based social justice choir which sings freedom songs of Southern Africa, and songs of struggles in the United States and globally.
- Organizing movements and Founding groups with others include the Freedom Song Network- singing songs the front lines of marches and demonstrations for labor and other social justices causes (e.g. On Boards: Former East Bay Peace Action (No use of students for military- No nuclear weapons), Pacifica National Foundation/KPFA Local Station Board (Free Radio) and A Safe Place (Women’s Shelter).
- Themes such as acting locally and connecting globally helped me to organize, locate funding streams and unite “with” people to strive for peace, justice and equality for ALL.
