Hillary Ronen, Workers' Rights Co-Coordinating Attorney, La Raza Centro Legal

Hillary joined La Raza Centro Legal in September 2003 after graduating from UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall Law School. She began work at La Raza as a fellow and created a popular education course for low-wage workers as well as a worker run legal clinic to recover unpaid wages of day laborers and domestic workers. In 2006 Hillary became La Raza's Worker's Rights Unit Coordinator and in that position continues to battle the bosses as a lawyer and organizer. Hillary is currently litigating a wage and hour case on behalf of a domestic worker in Federal Court and providing legal assistance to California's Domestic Worker Coalition as it prepares a state-wide campaign to pass a Domestic Worker Bill of Rights in 2010.
