BOTH MOM AND DAD WERE RAISED IN
JAPAN. AND RETURNED TO THE
COUNTRY OF THEIR BIRTH BEFORE
THE WAR.
SO THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE WITH
JAPANESE.
IF WE WERE ACTING OUT OR
SPEAKING TOO LOUDLY IN PUBLIC AS
CHILDREN OFTEN DO.
THEY WOULD QUIETLY SAY TO US.
COGNITION EYESIGHT.
WITH MOM AND DAD THE MORE GENTLY
THEY SPOKE
THE MORE WEIGHT THEIR WORDS
CARRIED.

KNEW IT WAS A NO NONSENSE
MESSAGE.

COLLEAGUES.
I RISE TODAY TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION A ONE
EIGHTY THREE. A RESOLUTION
COMMEMORATING THE FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHICANO LOCK
OUT IN LOS ANGELES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO THIS MONTH.
THE BRAVE CHICANO MEXICAN
AMERICAN STUDENTS OF LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WARREN
DURING SOME OF THE MOST
SHAMEFUL.
EDUCATIONAL CONDITION THE STATE
HAS SEEN.
DECADES OF INSTITUTIONALIZED
RACISM CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT
RIPE AND PREDISPOSED.
TWO BIASES AND STEREOTYPING.
AND STRIP STUDENTS OF THEIR
BASIC DIGNITY.
STUDENTS WERE FORCED.
OR FORBIDDEN I'M SORRY FROM
SPEAKING SPANISH
BATHROOMS WERE LOCKED DURING
RECESS AND LUNCH.
AND STUDENTS ARE MADE TO FEEL
LIKE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.
WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING
DRAFTED INTO THE VIETNAM WAR AS
SOON AS THEY WERE EIGHTEEN.
SUBJECTS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL.
THE SCHOOLS WERE RUNDOWN. LACKED
COLLEGE PREP COURSES AND LACK
TEACHERS OF COLOR WHO UNDERSTOOD
THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE STUDENT
BODY.
THIS LED TO SOME OF THE WORST
HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT RATES.
THIS NATION HAS SEEN
SOME AS HIGH AS FIFTY SEVEN
PERCENT. ARE AT GARFIELD HIGH
SCHOOL IN EAST LA.
IN MANY WAYS.
THE SYSTEM HAD GIVEN UP ON THESE
KIDS BUT THEY HAD NOT GIVEN UP
ON THEMSELVES.
AIDED BY YOUNG CHICANO TEACHER
NAMED SAL CASTRO.
WHO LEFT US A FEW YEARS AGO?
A GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE KNOWN AS
THE BROWN BERETS.
COLLEGE STUDENTS AND HIGH SCHOOL
RECRUITS.
THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER.
TO ORGANIZE THE WALKOUTS
TWO PROTESTS THE INJUSTICE.
OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES AND CALL
ATTENTION TO THEIR DEMANDS FOR
CHANGE EQUITY JUSTICE AND
OPPORTUNITY.
MORE THAN FIFTEEN THOUSAND
STUDENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOLS AND
MIDDLE SCHOOLS ACROSS THE EAST
SIDE OF LOS ANGELES WALKED OUT.
TO DEMAND SMALLER CLASSES.
MORE BILINGUAL COUNSELORS AND
EDUCATORS AND INSTRUCTORS
LESSONS ON MEXICAN AMERICAN
CULTURE ART AND HISTORY WHICH
WOULD NOW KNOW TO BE ETHNIC
STUDIES.
BUT THE WALKOUTS WERE NOT
SMOOTHLY. RUN FOR EVERYONE.
LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONDED WITH
RAIDS AND ARRESTS INCLUDING
ARRESTS LEE ARRESTING AND
FALSELY IMPRISONING. THIRTEEN
STUDENTS
DURING AT THAT TIME WHICH THEIR
TRIAL LATER BECAME KNOWN AS THE
EAST SIDE THIRTEEN.
THEY WERE EVENTUALLY RELEASED
BUT THEY LEFT THEIR MARK IN
HISTORY.
BUT YOU GOTTA WALK OUT ALONG
WITH THE CHICANO MORATORIUM
AGAINST THE VIETNAM WAR WERE A
MAJOR DEMONSTRATION THAT
MIRRORED.
THE SITUATION AND ISSUES OF THAT
TIME INCLUDING THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT.
THIS STUDENT LED MOVEMENT OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.
LED BY STUDENTS.
ORGANIZED BY STUDENTS.
AND ULTIMATELY IMPACTING ALL OF
OUR COMMUNITIES.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD
ASPIRE TO TODAY.
THEY DID IT FIFTY YEARS AGO WHEN
THERE WAS NO SOCIAL MEDIA. NO
TWITTER.
AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO ORGANIZE.
I BROUGHT THIS RESOLUTION TO
THIS BODY TODAY TO HONOR THE
HISTORY. OF THAT STUDENT LED
MOVEMENT.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
RECOGNIZE.
THE CYCLES OF HISTORY INSPIRING
THE GENERATIONS TODAY.
THE FIGHT FOR EQUITY JUSTICE
OPPORTUNITY CONTINUES.
AND ORGANIZING OF OUR
COMMUNITIES CONTINUES TO BE A
CRITICAL PART. OF THAT FIGHT.
WE HAVE SEEN TWO MILLION
STUDENTS THAT WALKED OUT LAST
WEEK.
IN THEIR FIGHT FOR.
THEIR OWN PROTECTION AT THEIR
SCHOOLS AND AGAINST GUN
VIOLENCE.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE RECOGNIZE
THE HISTORY AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF
CHICANOS AND MEXICAN AMERICANS
AND LATINOS ACROSS THE STATE.
BECAUSE THAT'S CALIFORNIA GOES
SO DOES THE NATION.
THANK YOU AND I URGE YOU AND I
VOTE FOR ACR ONE EIGHTY THREE.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER MEDINA

THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER.
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF ACR ONE

ATTENDING CATHOLIC SCHOOL.
AND ALTHOUGH I.
DID NOT ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL IN
LOS ANGELES.
I FACED.
AS MANY STUDENTS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIAN THIS NATION FACE.
THE SAME LIMITATIONS.
THE SAME LOW EXPECTATIONS
FROM TEACHERS
AND I REMEMBER.
CATHOLIC PRIEST.
IN MY SCHOOL WHO SAID TO MY
PARENTS THAT I WASN'T COLLEGE
MATERIAL.
BECAUSE MY ENGLISH BEING.
SPANISH SPEAKER UP WAS NOT GOOD
ENOUGH.
SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY
WHAT WAS DONE FIFTY YEARS AGO
AND EAST LOS ANGELES CHANGE
HISTORY.
AND THE STUDENTS ARE HERE WITH
US TODAY.
HELP LEAD THAT.
MARCH THAT WALK OUT OUT OF THE
EAST LA SCHOOLS
CHANGED HISTORY.
AN IMPORTANT PART OF HISTORY OF
THIS NATION.
AND AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM SAN
DIEGO A. REMINDS IS.
OFTEN.
THAT HISTORY OF ONE GROUP IS THE
HISTORY OF ALL OF US.
AND IS CHEECH MUDDYING SAYS OF
CHICANO ART IT IS AMERICAN ART
SO IS THE HISTORY. OF THE
CHICANO MOVEMENT AMERICAN
HISTORY.
SO IT IS MY HONOR TO RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS RESOLUTION.
AND. TO USE A PROP.
WITHOUT OBJECTION.
I HAVE WITH ME HERE.
THE BOOK BLOW OUT.
BY.
HISTORIAN MY AUDIO GARCIA AND
SAL CASTRO.

IN THE BOOK IT SAYS
SO WHO IS SAU CASTRO.

SUPPORT ACR ONE EIGHTY THREE.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SCHABAS.
YOU KNOW HEARING THE DISCUSSION
TODAY.
.
I THOUGHT I WOULD ALSO RISE UP
THE GIVE A NOTHER CONTEXT TO IT.
HISTORY IS COMPLEX.
IN NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT. I WAS
AT. A PUBLIC SCHOOL NOT A
CATHOLIC SCHOOL.
I TOWARDS HIGH SCHOOL.
I WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
JUNIOR CLASS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL.
IN SIXTY EIGHT I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT
CALIFORNIANS OLYMPIC TRIALS IN
WRESTLING.
AND MY TEACHERS WHO.
GAVE ME THE DIRECTION AN
OPPORTUNITY BE SUCCESSFUL IN
SCHOOL.
OR SUCCESSFUL OF THE SPORTS.
WE'RE NOT LATINO.
THIS WAS A COMPLEX TIME AND
THERE WERE AREAS POSSIBLY EVEN
JUSTICE BUT THEY'RE ALSO PACES.
OF JUSTICE.
AND I FIND IT INTERESTING WHEN
WE START USING TERMS AND LABELS
SCHOOL. MY FATHER WAS A MIGRANT
WORK AND YOU'VE HEARD THE START
OF FOR HE WENT FOR THE FAILED TO
FIGHT IN WORLD WAR TWO AFTER.
PEARL HARBOR.
WAS WORKING AT THE U. S. STILL
MALES BUT THROUGH THE GI BILL
WAS ABLE TO GO TO A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
A JUNIOR COLLEGE
AND TAKE US FROM THE.
BODY ARE TO TORRANCE CALIFORNIA
AT THE AGE YOUR OF UP I WAS
ABOUT SIX.
BUT I WAS VALUE OF EDUCATION SO
THAT'S WHY I'M ALWAYS FOCUS ON
EDUCATION BUT WHEN I FILL OUT A
CARD THEY SAID.
AUG.
YOU'RE A MEXICAN AMERICAN AND MY
FATHER WROTE ON THE CARD YOU
SAID NO YOU'RE AMERICAN YOU SAID
I FOUGHT. A WAR IN WORLD WAR TWO
TO ENSURE THAT YOU WOULD BE. AN
AMERICAN.
AND I THINK IT'S IT TRUST YOU
BECAUSE I ACTUALLY OF A PICTURE
OF HIM WHEN HE WAS GOING OFF
FROM BOOT CAMP. IN BEHIND HIM
THIS PICTURE IN HIS UNIFORM WAS
A FLAG OF MEXICO AND THE FLAG OF
THE UNITED STATES.
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HE GAVE
HIS GRANDMOTHER.
THAT'S COMPLEX BUT THAT'S
ACTUALLY WHAT OUR HISTORIES
ABOUT.
YOU KNOW I WENT FROM I A MEXICAN
AMERICAN TO AMERICAN TO CHICANO.
TO WILL A LATINO TO HISPANIC AND
ICE JOKE AROUND YOU KNOW AT NO
TIME DID I EVER CHANGE MY NAME
WHO I WAS WHO I THOUGHT I WAS.
BUT PEOPLE STARTED TELLING ME
WHO I WAS AND WHAT WAS GOING ON
WITH MY LIFE.
IS THERE A JUSTICE IN THE WORLD
YES THERE IS INJUSTICE GOING ON
RIGHT NOW TODAY PROBABLY NOT
ONLY IN OUR COMMUNITIES BUT I
SUGGEST YOU AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT WE SHOULD NOT.
PAINT STATE A CALIFORNIA AS ONE
THAT HAD THIS BIG TURMOIL AT THE
TIME BECAUSE THERE WERE LITTLE
GUYS LIKE ME NAME CHAVEZ.
WHO WAS GIVEN ALL THE
OPPORTUNITY THE WORLD?
BECAUSE OF A LOT OF GREAT
PEOPLE.
IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
THAT ONE HAS SPENT.
YOU KNOW I JUST ASK YOUR BUDDY
PUT IT IN CONTEXT WHAT'S GOING
ON AYE I'M HERE THE SPEECH IS
GOING OUT THERE. BUT I'M A GUY
THAT ACTUALLY WAS IN NO WAY USED
TO GO PARTY IN THESE DEL A BUT
USED TO SIR. AND MANHATTAN
HERMOSA BEACH AND THE WORLD WAS
MUCH MORE COMPLEX.
THEN WHAT'S BEING PRESENTED.

AS WE SEE YOUNG PEOPLE.
ORGANIZING THEMSELVES AND.
BRINGING ATTENTION TO THE ISSUES
OF. GRAND IMPORTANCE FIFTYYEARS
AGO CHICANO STUDENTS IN EAST LOS
ANGELES WALKED OUT. OTHER
SCHOOLS TO PROTEST INJUSTICE AND
INEQUALITY IN THEIR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAD YOUNG
CHICANOS AND CHICANOS IN MY
DISTRICT.
NOBODY IS A OR CHAT LIVE ROLLEI
INDIA AND CENTRO.
IN SOLIDARITY JOINING.
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN EAST LOS
ANGELES.
TWO OUTCRY.
THE INJUSTICES THAT WERE
HAPPENING AND THE INEQUITY AS IT
RELATES TO THE EDUCATION THAT
THEY WERE RECEIVING THEY WERE
FIGHTING FOR.
BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL
EDUCATION.
THEY WERE ASKING FOR THE
REVISION OF TEXTBOOKS.
THAT TOLD EIGHT ACCURATE STORY
OF HISTORY.
THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR TEACHERS
AND ADMINISTRATORS.
ENSURING THAT THERE WAS DIVERSE
CITY.
BUT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO LOOK
LIKE THEM.
TEACHING THEM AND ENCOURAGING
THEM.
TO DO GREAT THINGS.
HOWEVER COLLEAGUES FIFTY YEARS
LATER.
YOU KNOW WE'VE MADE SOME
SIGNIFICANT STRIDES BUT WE'VE
GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.
WE STILL HAVE NOT FULFILLED.
THAT DREAM OF THOSE BRAVE YOUNG
PEOPLE UP AND DOWN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AS IT RELATES TO ACHIEVING THOSE
GOALS.
YOU KNOW LATINOS REPRESENT OVER
HALF OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION.
IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN TO
SEVENTEEN.
THE ONLY REPRESENTED TWENTY
PERCENT OF THE TEACHERS.
AND TWENTY TWO PERCENT OF
ADMINISTRATORS.
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN LATINO
STUDENTS REPRESENTED OVER SIXTY
ONE PERCENT. OF DROPOUTS.
WE GOT SOME WORK TO DO.
I SAW.
IN POOR PERFORMANCE OVER NOT
BEING OF STUDENTS.
WE COULD SAY.
THE SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT WORKING.
IT'S NOT WORKING FOR US.
I LOOK FORWARD.
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH MY
COLLEAGUES TO IDENTIFY AND
ADDRESS.
STRUCTURAL BARRIERS THERE
PREVENTING OUR LATINO YOUTH FROM
ACHIEVING THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
I WANNA THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER

YOU KNOW HISTORY IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT WE'VESPENT TIME TOO
COSTLY TALKING ABOUT WOMEN'S
HISTORY MONTH AND. AND BLACK
HISTORY MONTH AND ALL THOSE
OTHER KINDS OF THINGS. AND PART
OF IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROCESS OF
US.
UNDERSTANDING ARE PAST THAT
MAKES A STRONG.
UNDERSTANDING ARE PASSIVE
HOPEFULLY HELPS US TO PREVENT
MAKING THE MISTAKES AGAIN.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY KEEPING US
ON TRACK AM SENSITIZING US OF
THE VALUE WAITING WHERE WE ARE
WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WHERE WE
HAVE TO GO.
AND I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED FIFTY YEARS AGO.
HOW OUR STUDENTS ROSE UP TO
PROTEST?
AND I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS I WAS
AT THE UNIVERSITY ACTUALLY FIFTY
YEARS AGO.
AND I REMEMBER ALL THE PROTESTS
THAT TOOK PLACE AND HOW HOW
VALUABLE THOSE PROTESTS WORRY Y.
IN CENTER RING US AS A NATION.
AND MAKING US AND REMINDING US
OF THE CONTINUING STRUGGLE TO
WHAT TO BECOME THE MORE PERFECT
UNION.
THE NEVER REACH PERFECTION BUT
ALWAYS WORKING TO BECOME THE
MORE PERFECT UNION BECAUSE WHY
BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN.
AND WE MAKE MISTAKES
AND WE OFTENTIMES DON'T SEE
OTHERS WHO DON'T LOOK LIKE US
AND DON'T STRUGGLE LIKE US.
AND AS THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT
BEEN WHO MUST BRING US BACK TO
WHERE WE ARE.
OFTENTIMES WE HAVE LEAD THE
CHALLENGE THAT'S HERE IN THE END
THEY THAT THAT NIGHT IN FIFTY
YEARS AGO THEY OFFER THAT
CHALLENGE.
AND THEY SPARKED OFTENTIMES A
VOICE FOR SO MANY OTHERS IN
SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES SO THAT WE
FOUND THE PROTEST AT THE
UNIVERSITIES AND WE FOUND BLACK
STUDIES IN NINETEEN SIXTY NINE.
AND SIXTY EIGHT THOSE PROTESTS
WERE GOING ON OUR STUDENTS WERE
RISING UP EVERYWHERE.
AND IF YOU ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS
IT WAS AN EXCITING TIME TO BE
THERE.
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE THE
HAVE A VOICE AS A YOUNG PERSON.
AND HAVE THAT VOICE HEARD AND
THAT'S WHAT OUR STUDENTS ALSO
DID LAST WEEK. THEY HAD A VOICE
AND THEY WERE HEARD AND THEY
WILL CONTINUE TO BE HEARD AND
THEY HAVE A VOICE AND AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS THAT
MANY OF US WOULD LOVE TO DO BUT
ARE AFRAID TO DO WHY. BECAUSE WE
HAVE MORTGAGES WE HAVE BILLS WE
HAVE RESPONSIBILITY AND THIS IS
THE ONE TIME MOST FOLKS REALIZE
IN THAT LIES WHEN I WAS A
STUDENT I WAS TOLD. THIS IS THE
ONE TIME YOU CAN REALLY REYES
HILL.
YOU CAN BE THE PERSON YOU WANNA
BE YOU CAN RAISE THE ISSUES AND
THE OTHERS WHO ARE HESITANT WILL
HEAR YOU AND THEY WILL RESPOND.
SO WE ARE NOW FACED WITH FIFTY
YEARS OF AN ASSESSMENT.
AND WE SHOULD GO AND WHILE WE
UNDERSTAND HOW HORRIBLE IT WAS
IN THE PAST WE SEE THE PROGRESS
BEEN MADE BUT WE ALSO KNOW AS WE
LOOK AT THE CURRENT REPORTS THAT
ARE OUT TODAY. THAT WE STILL
HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
THEY JUST DID THE MAJORITY
REPORT IN TERMS OF EDUCATION OF
LATINOS WE HAD BLACK MINDS
MATTER. IN ENDS IN AND A REPORT
AND WHAT IT SAYS IS THAT WE
CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE IN THESE
ISSUES AROUND EDUCATION AROUND
PEOPLE OF COLOR. WE SHOULD NEVER
FORGET THAT AND THIS IS A
REMINDER OF THAT AND WHILE SOME
OF US HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE. I WAS
FORTUNATE EVEN THOUGH I WANTED
ALL SEGREGATED SCHOOLS IN LOS
ANGELES I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE
TEACHERS THE MISSISSIPPI ALABAMA
GEORGIA. WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE
BATTLE WAS ALL ABOUT?
AND EDUCATED US IN THE PROJECTS
TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL I WAS
FORTUNATE TO DO THAT.
BUT ALSO READ ABOUT FREDERICK
DOUGLASS WHO REMINDED HIMSELF OF
THE REST OF US BUT IF I FORGET
THE OLD JERUSALEM.
IF I FORGET THE BLEEDING
CHILDREN OF SORROW THAT MAY MY
RIGHT HAND FORGET A CUNNING AND
MAY MY TONGUE CLEAVE TO THE ROOF
OF MY MOUTH.
WHICH MEANS THOSE OF US WHO
BASICALLY BENEFIT AND MOVE
FORWARD WE CANNOT FORGET THEM
ONCE WE HAVE COME. AND WE HAVE
COULD NOT FORGET THOSE WHO ARE
STILL LEFT BEHIND AND WE HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE IN THIS
HOUSE
REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE HAVE IS
OUR OWN BENEFITS. THE CONSULATE

UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE IN POLICY AND
POLITICS. MAKING A BIG
DIFFERENCE AND HOW OUR
GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS WHICH YOUR
NUMEROUS COMMITTEES CRAFT
INFLUENTIAL POLICY AND

TO ADDRESS OUR SOCIETY'S MOST
PRESSING CONCERNS.
ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER OF WOMEN
SERVING IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE
HAS GROWN OVER THE LAST FIFTY
YEARS WOMEN REMAIN LARGELY UNDER
REPRESENTED.
LESS THEN A QUARTER OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE IS
COMPRISED OF WOMEN WHEN COMPARED
TO OTHER STATE LEGISLATURES THE
NATION CALIFORNIA IS RANKED
THIRTIETH IN FEMALE
REPRESENTATION.
CONSIDERING THAT NEARLY HALF OF
CALIFORNIANS ARE WOMEN THERE IS
PLENTY OF WORK STILL TO BE DONE.

YOUNG WOMEN TO BECOME MORE
SPECIFICALLY INSPIRED.

SELLING CELEBRATING WOMEN IN

CONTRIBUTIONS OF WOMEN.
THAT CONTRIBUTIONS WOMEN MAKE IN
THE POLICY ARENA. BECAUSE OF
WOMEN SHAPING PUBLIC POLICY WE
HAVE LAWS THAT RANGE FROM CHILD
CARE FOR WORKING WOMEN TO THE
ABILITY TO DIVORCE AND OWN
PROPERTY.
AND EVEN THE RIGHT TO WEAR
PANTS.
WE DO NOT HAVE REPRESENTED WE DO
NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE
DEMOCRACY.
AS RECENTLY AS NINETEEN EIGHTY
FIVE ONLY TEN PERCENT OF
CONGRESS WAS FEMALE NOW. ALMOST
THIRTY YEARS LEADERS ONLY
EIGHTEEN PERCENT OF CONGRESS AND
TWENTY FOUR PERCENT OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE ARE
COMPRISED OF WOMEN.
I CURRENT RATES IT WILL TAKE A
HUNDRED IN SEVEN YEARS FOR WOMEN
TO COMPRISE FIFTY PERCENT OF
CONGRESS ACCORDING TO THE
INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN'S POLICY
RESEARCH.
WHY JANNAT RANKIN OF MONTANA WAS
THE FIRST WOMAN ELECTED TO THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN
NINETEEN SIXTEEN? IT WASN'T
UNTIL SEVENTY THREE YEARS LATER
THAT WE HAD OUR FIRST LATINA
ELECTED TO CONGRESS.
ILEANA ROS LEE IN THE FLORIDA

LEADERSHIP. LINDA SANCHEZ OF
CALIFORNIA.

CALIFORNIA HAS DONE A BIT BETTER
ELECTING GLORIA MOLINA TOWARDS
THE HOUSE IN NINETEEN EIGHTY
TWO.
BUT THAT WAS SIXTY FOUR YEARS
AFTER THE FIRST WOMAN WAS
ELECTED IN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN.
SHAPING PUBLIC POLICY SHOULD BE
MADE BY MANY PERSPECTIVES MAKING

THAT ENCOURAGING THEM TO SEEK
PUBLIC OFFICE.
