Blanca Estevez
Template:TOCnestleft Blanca Estevez is a Fayetteville Arkansas area activist. She is a founding member of the Northwest Arkansas Chapter of DSA. Born in Puerto de la Libertad during the Salvadoran Civil War, Blanca’s current on-the-ground organizing focuses primarily on helping reunite families separated by ICE and fighting for vaccine justice and access. As an NPC member elected in 2019, she currently serves as liaison to the Immigrants’ Rights Working Group, the Mutual Aid Working Group, Personnel, and the International Committee. Blanca is committed to a DSA that is a home for Latine workers, and was instrumental in drafting and passing a language justice resolution that commits DSA to offering all nationally-developed materials and trainings in both English and Spanish. She counts the restructuring of the Democratic Socialists of America International Committee, alongside Austin Gonzalez, as another win from her first term.[1]
