Lulu Matute – Organizing Coordinator

Contact: Lulu @ soawatch.org

Lulu has been been a part of SOA Watch since 2017, when she first participated as a student delegate at the Border Encuentro in Ambos Nogales, Arizona/Sonora. Within SOAW, her role involves collaborating with a diverse network that includes academics, artists, and community leaders to spearhead educational initiatives and community-engaged research projects. These efforts are aimed at addressing issues related to U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America, the militarization of the hemisphere, and immigration concerns.

As an EMT-B certified Search and Rescue specialist and humanitarian aid volunteer, Lulu combines her passion for service with her academic pursuits. She holds a degree in American Studies from UC Berkeley, where her research emphasized contemporary migration from Central America and the criminalization faced by displaced communities in increasingly militarized border regions. She is a recipient of the Robert and Colleen Haas Scholars and McNair Scholar awards. Looking ahead, Lulu aspires to further her impact by specializing in international and forensic nursing.
