Today on Extraordinary Women Radio, I'm excited to bring you this extraordinary woman - Guadalupe Briseno, a Latina Leader in Colorado's Labor Movement in the 60s and 70s, and a 2020 Colorado Women's Hall of Fame Inductee.
In this Episode:
Listen in on how Guadalupe led a labor strike in the Kitayama plant in the 60s that is foundational to today’s social justice movements
The importance of respect and non-use of bad language with subordinates and co-workers
The human rights violations that Guadalupe witnessed at the Kitayama plant
How Guadalupe proposed talking to the management and how Mr. Kitayama just berated them
How the women courageously took a stand together against the injustices
How Guadalupe took the retrenchment, took it to court, and got the support of a lot of people
Why it is important for women to raise their voices in these situations
How women are stronger these days and have learned to speak up
The opportunities for women of this generation
What Guadalupe will tell her 30-year old self
As the organizer of the Kitayama Carnation Strike, Lupe Briseño demonstrated the strength and power of Latina leadership in Colorado’s Labor Movement and set the stage for the Colorado Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 70s. Her story is an essential chapter in the history of Colorado, the evolution of Latina feminist leadership, and the struggle for Chicano civil rights.
The Kitayama Carnation Strike was one of the seminal events in 1969 that laid the foundation for the Chicano Movement in Colorado. The impact of the women-led social movement reverberated throughout the state within the Chicano Civil Rights Movement.
But most importantly, Briseño and the Kitayama Carnation Strike demanded that women, as well as all laborers, be treated with the respect and dignity that they deserved. Fundamental human rights were at the heart of their demands – the same rights that are the foundation of many of the social justice movements today: equal-pay-for-equal work, immigration rights, anti-human trafficking, and the “Me Too” movement.
Lupe Briseño, her companions and their role in the Kitayama Carnation strike empowered Latinas in the civil rights, labor, feminist, education, and social justice movements of the 1960s and 70s. Her actions and leadership are the shoulders upon which current Latina leaders stand.
“The women were very strong. You’ll be surprised when the women make a stand.” - Guadalupe Briseno
Let’s meet Guadalupe Briseno!
