Melinda St. Louis
Executive Director

Melinda returned to Witness for Peace in July 2006, after finishing a master’s degree in public policy from Georgetown University. From 2002-2004, she worked in the WFP national office as Advocacy and Campaigns Coordinator, where she helped develop WFP’s stateside campaigns on trade justice, peace in Colombia, and ending the Cuban embargo. From 2000-2002, Melinda served on WFP’s International Team in Nicaragua, leading delegations and analyzing the constantly changing reality for labor organizing in Nicaragua’s Free Trade Zones for U.S. labor solidarity groups. Prior to her tenure at WFP, Melinda was the Mid-Atlantic regional organizer for the Campaign for Labor Rights and Coordinator of the Latin American Emergency Response Network.

Melinda enjoys singing Latin American folk music with her husband Pablo, commuting by bike, brainstorming creative chants and radical cheers, and (surprisingly) doing statistical research.
