DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Resource Center, College 9 & 10 Cocurricular Programs 
 Office and Dean of Students Office invite you to the 13th Annual Cesar 
 Chávez Convocation.\n\nThis event is FREE Doors open at 6:30pm!\n\nThe 
 Convocation honors the memory of Cesar Chavez, his achievements, commitment 
 to social justice/civil rights, unrelenting efforts to cultivate grassroots 
 leadership, and his successful formation of the United Farm Workers Union 
 (UFW). \n\nThis year’s Convocation keynote speaker is UCSC Alumni, Carmen 
 Perez. Carmen has been an activist nearly her entire life. After the death 
 of her 19­ year ­old sister when she was just 17, Carmen began dedicating 
 her life to creating programs and initiatives that would help transform the 
 lives of young people. Perez graduated with a degree in Psychology from 
 Oakes College in 2001.\n\nIn 2002, Carmen went to work for Barrios Unidos 
 in Santa Cruz – an organization dedicated to providing non­violence 
 training and re­entry services for the incarcerated, and establishing an 
 Institute for peace and community development in Santa Cruz and across the 
 country. In 2005, while working for Barrios Unidos, Carmen met the man who 
 would influence the next decade of her life – Harry Belafonte. Mr. 
 Belafonte was forming The Gathering for Justice, and was organizing huge 
 masses of marginalized communities in non­violent settings across the 
 country – and he invited Carmen to be a part of it. Through her work at 
 Barrios Unidos, and a member of The Gathering, Carmen served both 
 organizations while continuing to build her own programs focused on young 
 girls and youth justice. \n\nLearn More about Carmen Perez:
