Citlali’s own experiences with education fuels her passion to fully fund California public schools. She is an integral part of our campaign. She’s spending her summer conducting research on California’s education crisis, creating content for Evolve’s social media platforms, and directly engaging the public through one-on-one conversations, and so much more.
Citlali Rodriguez (She/Her): Currently pursuing a BA in Political Science at San Francisco State University, with a passion for political activism and grassroots organizing. Growing up in Oakland, within the backdrop of Black/Latino communities from all over the world, Citlali witnessed how politics has a first hand effect on people, especially inner-city communities. Citlali also has a strong love of the arts; music, painting, and famous works across history. The process of weaving culture and history through different mediums by traditions long done by a human mind, is what she loves most about humanity and the earth.
