Web Info:: Green Party Vice-Presidential candidate Rosa Clemente has made
it her life’s work to empower youth, Latino/as, and women to make their
voices heard and make a positive difference in their communities. Her
record of political activism spans back to early adulthood. While in
graduate school at Cornell, she was a founding member of La Voz Boriken,
a social/political organization dedicated to supporting Puerto Rican
political prisoners and the independence of Puerto Rico. In 2001, she was
a youth representative at the United Nations World Conference against
Xenophobia, Racism and Related Intolerance. In 2003, Clemente helped form
and coordinate the first ever National Hip-Hop Political Convention,
drawing 3,000 activists to generate a national political agenda for the
hip hop generation. On November 10th in Davidson’s Founders Hall, Rosa
Clemente will speak about the youth vote; Latino/as and politics; and
women and politics. Sponsored by: The Committee on the Concerns of Women,
