Peter Camejo [1939 - 2008] Public Memorial Meeting In Berkeley, Ca. Today 2:00 pm

[Better Believe It]

A long list of political activists and international dignitaries will be among those speaking at a public memorial celebrating the life of former gubernatorial, presidential and vice-presidential candidate Peter Camejo SUNDAY, Nov. 23, at 2 p.m. at the International House on the University of California at Berkeley campus (2299 Piedmont Ave), according to an announcement by family and friends.

Mr. Camejo died Sept. 13 at home in Folsom, CA after a lengthy fight with cancer.

Speakers at the Public Memorial at UCB - which, ironically, expelled Mr. Camejo for his activities as a student opposing the war in Vietnam in the 60's - will include those who worked with him as a student leader during that era.

Among those speaking will be Presidential candidate and consumer activist Ralph Nader, Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin, former San Francisco Board of Supervisors Matt Gonzalez, Consul General of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela Martin Sanchez, Deputy Salvadoran General Assembly Ramon Cardona, National President of the Mexican American Political Association Nativo Lopez and American Muslim Alliance on Civil Rights and Elections Dr. Agha Saeed, as well as Mr. Camejo's former running mates.

Organizers said that "Everyone who has met Peter, talked with Peter, worked with Peter, argued with Peter, or heard of him are invited to join friends and family in celebrating his life."

It is with great sadness and regret that I have to inform you that Peter Camejo died this morning. Peter decided that he would be more comfortable at home, and the doctors agreed. Arrangements were made, and ultimately Peter returned home yesterday. Peter's health had declined rapidly over the last two days due to the aggressiveness of his cancer and the strength of the drugs used to combat his disease. His wife was at his side when he passed peacefully this morning.

Peter is survived by his wife Morella, his daughter Alexandra, his son Victor, three brothers Antonio, Daniel, and Danny, and three grandchildren Andrew, Daniel and Oliver.

Arrangements and memorial services will be announced at a later date. As a courtesy, the family requests that there be no calls at this time.
