See below for Rep. Levin’s statement recognizing Satia Austin in the Congressional Record:
“Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize North San Diego County NAACP President Satia Austin, as my Constituent of the Month for February. Every February, we celebrate Black History Month, and this year, I am honored to highlight Satia as an incredible member of my community.
“From an early age, Satia’s parents stressed the importance of education, personal responsibility, and achievement. These values became her guiding principles as she pursued her passion through a career in youth advocacy and activism. As the current President of the North San Diego County NAACP, the State Advisor for the Youth and College Division for California and Hawaii, and the Adult Representative for Region I of the National NAACP Youth Works Committee, Satia uses her resources and platform to help guide young adults into the professional world. Instilling each of the same core values she was raised on, Satia’s dedication to the betterment of local youth ensures African Americans and other people of color in the District aren’t confined to their circumstances and can achieve success in their adult lives.
“This past year, we experienced a nationwide awakening to systemic racism in America. We have much more work to do to confront inequality in our country, but I’m thankful for residents like Satia who are passionate about helping underserved youth succeed. As we continue to come together to address racial injustice, leaders like Satia bring me hope and inspiration. I am honored to recognize her as my Constituent of the Month.”
Representative Levin’s Constituent of the Month program recognizes outstanding North County San Diego and South Orange County Residents who have gone above and beyond to help their neighbors, give back to their community, and make the country stronger. Levin’s Constituent of the Month for January was Syndee Wood, who in response to the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, found a way to support both our essential workers and local businesses by delivering food to nurses in the ICU unit. His December Constituent of the Month was Nolan Mejia, local Carlsbad teen and founder of Grocery Grab.
