Rose Aguilar

Rose Aguilar is an American journalist and political from San Francisco.

Aguilar currently hosts Your Call, a daily public affairs radio show on NPR-affiliate KALW 91.7 FM. Your Call features in-depth conversations about everything from the Iraq war and poverty to the environment and the arts.

In 2005, Rose spent six months traveling around the so-called "red states" interviewing people about politics and why they vote the way they do -- or not. She visited Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, and Montana. "After the 2004 election, I had to leave my bubble and talk to people from different backgrounds about how their opinions are shaped and what they think about the current state of affairs." She writes about her experience in the forthcoming book Red Highways: A Liberal's Journey into the Heartland.

Rose is a contributor to the book Red State Rebels: Tales of Grassroots Resistance in the Heartland. She also writes for Alternet and offers political analysis for the BBC.

Rose sits on the board of the Women's Intercultural Network (WIN), a non-profit organization working to connect girls and women across borders. WIN most recently hosted women's rights activists from Uganda and Afghanistan.

Before joining KALW, Rose spent eight years as a reporter with CNET Radio. She reported on technology's impact on society and was the only woman on staff.

Rose speaks about the media, women's issues, and politics on panels and at conferences.
