Anita Stewart

Anita Stewart is a licensed medical professional, artist, freelance writer, blogger and photographer, independent publicist and New Media and Virtual Outreach expert. Anita was born in Detroit and grew up in a rock and roll radio station in Pennsylvania that her father owned, so news, media and music has always been an important part of her life. Anita is a USAF veteran. While attending the University of Maryland, where she received a degree in English with a minor in film and journalism, she worked for Arbitron Radio Ratings in Laurel and Beltsville, MD and the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC and was a member of the AFL-CIO Local 25 Hotel and Restaurant Worker's Union. That's where her activism began. Anita was one of the first organizers of Chapter 119, the Tampa Bay Veterans for Peace and of Code Pink Tampa Bay and the Tampa Bay Indymedia Collective. From December of 2006 until June of 2007 Anita volunteered on the Virtual Outreach team for the Kucinich for President 2008 Campaign. She became an official member of the campaign staff in July of 2007. With Code Pink Tampa Bay, she has worked with other local and statewide peace groups on developing an alliance to regularly schedule local peace actions under the collective name of RISE UP TAMPA BAY. Currently she serves on the Board of Trustees for the Florida Green Party. She volunteered as a virtual outreach coordinator for the Cynthia McKinney Presidential Campaign. She is on the Steering Committee for IndependentMovement.org and fine tunes an internet presence by doing this organization's Virtual Outreach. Anita is a strong believer in working to change the course of our country by reforming our media, by using the Internet to organize Independent voters and by actively supporting and electing Independents and Progressives for Congress and Senate that are not corporate "owned." When Anita has any spare time, she is singing, listening to music, writing, playing on the Internet or taking care of Hospice patients.
