Shows featuring Camila Vallejo

Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Camila Vallejo

Vice president of the University of Chile Student Federation. From late 2010 through 2011, she was president of the organization and has been a main spokesperson for the national student federation, the Confederation of Chilean Students. Vallejo is also a member of the Central Committee of the Chilean Communist Youth and a geography student at the Universidad de Chile in Santiago. In 2011, she was included in Time magazine’s “100 People Who Mattered” and also named as “Time Person of the Year” in its annual issue, which honored “the protester.” Likewise, readers of The Guardian chose her as their “Person of the Year,” and Chileans elected her “Person of the Year” in their poll. And, in 2012, Newsweek/Daily Beast included Camila Vallejo in its list of “150 Fearless Women.”
