Alicia Garza is an Oakland-based organizer, writer, public speaker and freedom dreamer who is currently the special projects director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the nation’s leading voice for dignity and fairness for the millions of domestic workers in the United States. Garza, along with Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, also co-founded the Black Lives Matter (BLM) network, a globally recognized organizing project that focuses on combatting antiblack, state-sanctioned violence and the oppression of all black people.
