Renee Maria Saucedo
is a vocal advocate for immigrant rights in California.
Since 1991 she has worked with La Raza Centro Legal as an employment
attorney and a youth law attorney. She also advocates for progressive
policies in the educational and juvenile justice systems. Ms. Saucedo works
within the legal system and at the grassroots level, fostering coalitions
between diverse community groups to more effectively combat poverty,
advocate for health care, and halt dehumanizing INS raids. She is involved
with a wide variety of nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area and has
received several awards for excellence in community service.
International Women's Week has a long history. Both within and outside of the Unites States, women across the globe celebrated International Women's Day at least as early as 1909. In late 1974, the United Nations responded to the growing liberation struggles of women all over the world by establishing March 8 as International Women's Day.
The University of Colorado at Boulder participates in this movement by hosting our own IWW. Our first event was held on March 3-8, 1975. IWW 1975 was a collaboration between many diverse groups on campus, being co-sponsored by: Committee for Asian-American Brothers & Sisters ... Black Student Alliance ... Cultural Events Board ... Gay Liberation ... New American Movement ... OYATE ... UCSU ... UMAS ... Union of Radical Political Economists ... Women's Liberation Coalition ... and the Women's Studies Program.
