                         Tuesday, April 9, 2019

  Mr. CARBAJAL. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Dr. Leola Dublin 
Macmillan for her Congressional Women of the Year Award and for all the 
incredible work she does to improve the quality of life on the Central 
Coast.
  Dr. Leola Dublin Macmillan serves on the board of Just Communities 
Central Coast, is on the steering committee of RACE Matters SLO County, 
and is a member of the SLO Police Department's Police And Community 
Together (PACT) community group. She has taught as a Lecturer at Cal 
Poly for the Ethnic Studies and Women's and Gender Studies departments. 
Leola is deeply invested in making our community a more just and 
equitable place. She has organized and led many workshops on the 
Central Coast, sharing her extensive knowledge about how difference (in 
race/class/gender/sexual orientation/(dis)ability) is understood within 
U.S. contexts. Above all, she is a passionate advocate for her 
students. She has been supporting and guiding students in pursuing 
their own advocacy projects, including helping with organizing the 
UnstoPPable Conference at Cal Poly and bringing to the attention of SLO 
City Council the need for improved lighting in neighborhoods 
surrounding Cal Poly campus. She selflessly and patiently educates our 
communities on difficult to discuss topics such as structural racism.
