Voces de Liberación: Latinas and Politics in Southern California

Description

Called “motivating,” “inspirational,” and “uplifting” by visitors, Voces de Liberación explores the stories of nine Latina politicians and activists in Southern California.

Colorful, eye-catching graphics and accompanying oral histories highlight nine incredible women who made an impact in historical and contemporary Southern California. They advocate(d) for political rights for their communities not just locally, but also regionally and nationally. A matching template gives you the opportunity to feature Latina politicians and activists in your community.
