Lucilla Esguerra, 18, is running for California State Assembly, District 48. As a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Peace and Freedom Party nominee, Lucilla is the youngest person running for public office in California. Lucilla is an anti-war activist with the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) and a socialist. She has helped bring tens of thousands of people to the streets in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., to stop the criminal Iraq war. On March 15, 2008, she led an anti-war protest in LA of 10,000 people. Lucilla also has organized resistance to the racist, anti-immigrant Minuteman Project and mobilized support for the May 1 mass protests demanding full rights for all immigrants over the past 3 years. In her student work, Lucilla has mobilized for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, leading student actions for same-sex marriage at the high school and college levels. She is a former president of the Gay Straight Alliance at the Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies and coaches the school’s junior varsity women’s softball team. Lucilla’s central campaign demand is “Jobs, education, housing, healthcare - not racism and war!” She is for full employment - gainful jobs for all, including job training for youth and the unemployed; free, quality healthcare for everyone; free, high-quality education from pre-school through college; and the immediate end to all foreclosures and evictions in the 48th district and across the United States. Lucilla seeks to make the state of California a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants. She believes in full equality and immediate legalization for all!
