#HumansofUCSC “I think I’ve always known that what was important to me was to advocate and create policies to help people like my family. Not just immigrants but people who work 40 hours a week and yet still have a difficult time keeping their homes and paying for transportation and day care—the barriers to wealth and asset building. That is my calling.” __ UC Santa Cruz alumna Ada Recinos (College Ten, ’15, Sociology) was sworn in as the city of Richmond’s youngest council member in 2017. At UC Santa Cruz she was part of the everettprogram which helps students learn the theory and practice of social activism. ____ #ucsc #thinkucsc #ucsantacruz #ucscalumni #firstgenucsc #firstgen
