About Me

An unrepentant activist for peace and social justice for many years, I am currently an Officer-at-Large of the Progressive Caucus, CDP. I am also a candidate for Chair of the Caucus; that election will take place at the upcoming annual Convention in Sacramento, April 24-26, 2009. As past Executive Board representative for the 5th AD, I co-authored an Iraq War Withdrawal plan which was presented to the CDP and widely embraced by Party activists. You can find the plan at the Progressive Caucus website: www.progressivecaucuscdp.org. I am also a member of the Labor Caucus, Women's Caucus and Chicano / Latino Caucus of the CDP.

In Sacramento, I am an elected member of the Sacramento Central Committee and belong to the following clubs and organizations: the Stonewall Democratic Club, the Town and Country Democratic Club, and the Wellstone Democratic Club of Sacramento. In California, I am the Northern California State Coordinator for Progressive Democrats of America.

My areas of interest are campaign strategies, and Labor and Foreign policy issues, having been an organizer for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
