The Parole Advocacy Project is hosting its first in-person fundraiser this semester on March 28th at 6:30pm on campus (ACS cosponsorship).

The American Constitution Society and Law Women’s Caucus, this Thursday, March 28th, at lunch in Room I, will be hosting a conversation with Former United States Representative Jackie Speier.

Before that, she served on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, the California State Assembly and the California Senate, bringing her total time in public service to over 40 years. Congresswoman Speier is a fierce advocate for women’s rights, gun violence prevention, health care, LGBTQ+ rights, and the care of service members and veterans.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Davis, and a Juris Doctor from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1976.
