Lydia Villarreal

Abogada de la Protección Ambiental
​y del Consumidor

Como diputada del procurador del distrito en el condado de Monterey, California, Lydia Villarreal es la encargada de proveer protección ambiental y al consumidor en el valle de Salinas. Como una orgullosa méxico-americana, Lydia dice que es un agente del esfuerzo latino que busca ganar fuerza económica política.
Saliendo con honores de la Universidad de California en Santa Cruz, Lydia ganó reconocimiento nacional por su trabajo creando clases sobre la historia Chicana, la historia laboral y auto estíma. Las clases eran para jóvenes hispanos que dejan la escuela sin terminarla. Ella empezó su carrera en leyes después de pasar un año como voluntaria con la Union de Trabajadores Campesino en el departamento legal. Estudió leyes en la Universidad de California en Berkeley. Trabajó para los Supremos Tribunal de California.
Lydia tiene reputación como una campeona de los campesinos y formó el Centro de la Comunidad de Apoyo para los necesitados. Su caso mas famoso es de cuando los campesinos tenian que pagar renta por vivir en cuevas.
photojournalist's  notes
We went into different courtrooms but the settings and the light just didn’t seem to be right. The outside of the courthouse seemed more suitable for the background, and it exuded stability, strength, and a conservative nature. Lydia is framed by the doors and columns and looked absolutely comfortable in those surroundings. She was definitely in her element, not intimidated by the justice system and eager to make it work for her clients.
