She later received her Master\u2019s degree in Urban Studies, which has informed her understanding of community dynamics and social justice issues. Her academic background is rooted in advocacy for marginalized communities.\n\n##Experience\n\nDe La Cruz has a diverse background in community organizing, activism, and education. She co-founded the nonprofit organization, The People\u2019s Collective for Justice, focusing on advocacy for immigrant rights and social equity. Additionally, De La Cruz has worked with various grassroots organizations to promote economic justice, education reform, and health equity. Her experience includes serving as a community liaison and educator, where she has developed programs to support immigrant communities and youth empowerment.\n\n##Family\n\nClaudia De La Cruz is a family-oriented individual who values her heritage and community ties. She has often spoken about the influence of her family\u2019s experiences as immigrants on her advocacy work, emphasizing the importance of representing the voices of those who are often overlooked in the political process.\n\n##Personal Statement \n\nThe genocidal assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza is being armed and supported by Democratic and Republican leaders alike. My campaign has been in the streets with millions demanding a ceasefire an end to U.S. arming of Israel and a \"Free Palestine!\"\n\nToday, we are experiencing many crises - climate catastrophe, massive job losses, homelessness, huge health costs, threat of war against China - and more. The capitalist-controlled government has no answers to these crises, and instead acts a servant of the capitalist corporations.\n\nThe working class is the vast majority. We, not the billionaires, make society run - without us nothing moves. Yet we are unrepresented - there are virtually no workers in government at any level. The majority of people are also living paycheck to paycheck, and the cost of everything has skyrocketed. The five richest men in the U.S. have as much wealth as the bottom 50% - 170 million people. They didn't \"earn\" that wealth, they stole it! Capitalism cannot be reformed. It is a system driven by maximizing profit regardless of cost to humanity. It promotes racism, sexism, homophobia and Islamophobia to keep us divided.\n\nWe need a new system. a socialist system, where the working class holds power and uses it to meet the needs of the people in a sustainable way.\n\nMy campaign is part of the growing movement for real change. Join us! Vote YES on Prop 6 \u2013 end prison slavery in California! Register and vote Peace and Freedom Party! Vote Socialist 2024!\n\n##Community Involvement and Recognition\n\nDe La Cruz has been actively involved in various community initiatives, including work with local organizations aimed at improving educational access for underserved youth. She has been recognized for her leadership in advocating for social and economic justice, receiving accolades from community organizations for her commitment to empowerment and activism. Her work has contributed to significant dialogues around immigration reform and social equity in her community.\n\n##Controversies and Critiques \n\nAs a political candidate, De La Cruz has faced critiques related to her bold stance on immigration reform and her advocacy for radical systemic changes. Some detractors argue that her approach may be too progressive for mainstream political acceptance. However, supporters view her positions as necessary for addressing deep-rooted social issues.\n\n##Further Information and Resources\n\n[https://votesocialist2024.com/](https://votesocialist2024.com/)\n\n[De La Cruz's Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_De_la_Cruz)","birthdate":null,"firstname":"Claudia","fullname":"Claudia De la Cruz","lastname":"De la Cruz","middlename":null,"suffix":null,"summary":null,"token":"HUDmsSO6M4"},{"bio_snippet":"Venus de la Cruz is the Republican candidate for North Carolina State Senate District\u202f19 in 2026, previously a County Commissioner candidate who chose not to campaign.","biography":"Venus de la Cruz is the Republican nominee for the North Carolina State Senate in District\u202f19 in the 2026 general election.
