TEDx: And Justice for All? by Lisa Cisneros

“As an attorney who fights for the rights of the LGBT community among the agriculture community of Salinas, Lisa dispels myths about immigration, sexual orientation, and human rights. Ever since Lisa Cisneros was young, she’s wanted to advocate for people. Lisa’s passion is working with the LGBTQ community in rural, low-income, immigrant communities of California. By working for CA Rural Legal Assistance, Lisa is the strong voice for those suffering from discrimination. In her ’97 yearbook, Lisa quoted Alice Walker, “Every time I conjure up a rock, I throw it.” And that’s exactly what Lisa is doing! Her previous work has seen her represent employees in large class action lawsuits, clerk for a federal judge, file an amicus brief before the Supreme Court and become a member of California’s Fair Employment & Housing Council. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.”
