I gave this Commencement Speech Sunday at Cal Berkeley
Lalo Alcaraz Commencement Speech
for UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design, May 17, 2015
Hello Wurster Hall Class of 2015!
Good evening graduates and long suffering families.
CONGRATULATIONS PARENTS! YOU’RE ALMOST FREE.
And graduates, it won’t cost you anything: how about the loudest most tremendous cheer for your families?!
Good, NOW this is sounding like the Chicano/Latino graduation! Next year, may I suggest mariachis?
SNL’s Amy Poehler champions the rights of domestic workers (video)
Funny former Saturday Night Live comedian Amy Poehler is down for Domestic Workers, and comes clean on something not many in the U.S. will admit:
She could not be the busy actress and mom that she is without her hard-working domestic help.
Poehler’s Public Service Announcement (PSA) is a call to action to petition to California Gov. Jerry Brown get him to sign the California Domestic Worker Bill of Rights. Our moms and tias and abuelas have worked hard for years and deserve humane and equitable treatment afforded to others.
You can support the California Domestic Worker Bill of Rights by calling your state senator and Gov. Brown (916-445-2841) today. To learn mas, please visit www.domesticworkers.org.
