About Cecilia Lunaparra
After being elected as the first undergraduate student to the Berkeley City Council, Cecilia graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Urban Studies in May 2024. She previously served as the Chair of the Environment and Climate Commission and as a Commissioner on the Zoning Adjustments Board, as well as the leader of multiple student advocacy organizations. Alongside talented and committed student organizers, Cecilia has advocated for progressive legislation and an equitable urban realm at the local level, focusing primarily on transportation, housing, and policing policy. She is incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve the residents of Berkeley and looks forward to representing and working alongside the dynamic Southside neighborhood and fighting for our frequently ignored and marginalized residents.
The daughter of Mexican immigrants, Cecilia is the first Latina and the first openly queer woman of color to serve on the City Council.
