The Founding President was Francisca Flores, a Chicana activist already well respected for her many decades of community works. Recognizing that there were few organizations that met the needs of Latina women, nine resolutions were presented to the full body calling for the establishment of a Chicana/Mexicana women's commission. The resolution called for a commission that could direct it’s efforts toward organizing and networking women that they might assume leadership positions within the Chicano movement and in the community. Designed to disseminate news and information regarding the achievements of Chicana/Mexican women, and promote programs that provide solutions for women and their families; the resolutions read as follows: RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH COMISIÓN FEMENIL MEXICANA NACIONAL, INC.

    STRUGGLES IN FORMING CHICANA SISTERHOODS, 1970-1982 A thesis Submitted by Nicole Cedillo In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in History TUFTS UNIVERSITY May, 19 2013 Cedillo 2 Introduction On October 9, 1970 forty women met at the Mexican American National Issues Conference in Sacramento to place the plight of Mexican American women at the forefront of the Chicano movement’s political agenda. Francisca Flores, a veteran of Los Angeles labor politics, urged Mexican women to join together in order to form their own female led workshop that addressed women’s rights, childcare, higher education, abortion and the future of Chicana women. After over six hours of deliberation, the women passed resolutions that called for the representation of Mexican American females in local, state, and national government. They called for the recognition of Chicana women’s issues throughout the Western hemisphere and sought to build a network of women that would cross national boundaries and lead to a world- wide Chicana social movement. At the same time, they wanted to work on community issues, demanding childcare and reproductive rights on the conference agenda in addition to women’s right to self-determination. The outcome of the workshop gave birth to Comision Femenil Mexicana Nacional (The National Mexican Women’s Commission), one of the first Chicana feminist organizations of the nation, which transformed the local concerns of Mexican women to the forefront of state and national political agendas. 1 The Chicano movement, which took place in the late 1960s and 1970s, has been best known for charismatic male leaders, such as Caesar Chavez who led the United Farm Workers in the fight for civil rights or the Brown Berets who used self-defense against police brutality in the 1 “Report on Workshop and Present Women’s Activities,” CFM vol.

This is to provide your Board with Battelle's feasibility assessment and proposed master plan for a public-private biotechnology partnership program (Attachment). Summary Battelle's research and analysis indicates that the biosciences industry in the Los Angeles region has been, and continues to be, a key economic driver for the region and that there is potential to expand this industry to be a top region in the nation. Although the region lags in several key areas (e.g., lack of early-stage venture capital, insufficient wet lab space, etc.), Battelle believes that developing a public-private program is feasible.

  • The History, Development, and Policy Influence of the California Latino Legislative Caucus
    The History, Development, and Policy Influence of the California Latino Legislative Caucus Prepared by the Center for Southern California Studies, California State University, Northridge as part of the Faculty Research Fellows Program for the Center for California Studies, California State University, Sacramento Lawrence C. Becker, Ph.D.1 Tyler Hughes, Ph.D.2 Jason L. Morin, Ph.D.2 Abstract: The California Latino Legislative Caucus (CLLC) was established in 1973 to advance the policy interests of both Latinos and the general population in California. As one of the largest legislative caucuses in the Legislature, the CLLC wields a great deal of influence over legislative committees, leadership positions, and policy outcomes. The CLLC expanded its own institutional capacity as its processes and structures became more formalized. Based on interviews with current and former Caucus members and staff as well as various other sources of data, this report examines the history, growth, development, and policy influence of the Caucus. Part I of the report provides a historical overview of the development of the CLLC. Part II explores various aspects of the growth and institutionalization of the Caucus including the development of key sub-networks, sources of Caucus unity, the routinization of Caucus procedures, and the role of leadership within the Caucus. Part III outlines the Caucus’s policy agenda, roll call voting patterns, and influence on the policymaking process. Finally, the report concludes with a summary of findings and a brief discussion

    Page 1 Introduction! Hello, and welcome to the DSA-LA Electoral Politics committee’s voter guide to the elections on June 5, 2018. There’s a lot to vote for this year, so we decided to do the research on every contested race on the ballot so you could know who and what you’re voting for when you mark those little dots in the polling booth. Given the huge number of races pertinent to LA county, we decided to create a cheat sheet with our recommendations—many of which represent “lesser evil” calculations. Only Gayle McLaughlin for Lieutenant Governor and Steve Dunwoody for Assembly District 54 have been endorsed by DSA-LA as a whole, so please don’t take these suggestions as the recommendation of the entire chapter—these are just what a few dedicated DSA members in the Electoral Politics committee came up with after hours of researching the races through a pragmatic leftist lens. If you scroll down to a particular race, you’ll see that the information provided varies slightly between races—this was a long and communal effort, but we decided to share as much information as seemed useful for you to make a considered choice. Often, we omitted Republican or Libertarian candidates—if you’re reading this, we don’t imagine you’d vote for them anyway—and occasionally we limited our research to the candidates with a decent chance of winning. Table of Contents Page 2 You might also notice that many of these races are either literally or practically uncontested, or that most of the candidates seem bland, hazily defined, and mildly corrupt.
