The UCLA Labor Center and the Center for the Advancement of Racial Equity at Work invite you to a UCLA homecoming celebration for recently-elected California State Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas. Prior to being sworn in to represent California’s 28th Senate District, Senator Smallwood-Cuevas worked at the UCLA Labor Center for 15 years where she directed the Center for the Advancement of Racial Equity at Work project and co-founded the LA Black Worker Center, the country’s first Black worker center.The LA Black Worker Center serves as a model for Black worker centers across the country that increase access to quality jobs, reduce employment discrimination, and improve industries that employ Black workers through action and unionization. Senator Smallwood-Cuevas saw the vast disparities in union membership and skilled labor opportunities in the Black community throughout her career as a labor organizer and decided to take action.Join us to celebrate Senator Smallwood-Cuevas, an educator, labor organizer, and community advocate who has dedicated her life to economic and racial justice, and has advanced research, education, and community empowerment over the course of her career.
