Brenda G. Martinez
Operations & Logistics Manager
“My passion that drives me to do this work is working around immigration issues in borderland communities. I am a DACA recipient, and I understand the adversities and struggles immigrant families face on a daily basis. Despite the adversities the DACA program has faced, I know that people have power to change the world by working together.”

Stevie R. Paz
Digital Organizer
I organize because the heart of the work–is the storytelling. And it is through our stories that we bring to light the systems that have been designed to divide us, and it is through our stories that will bring us back together.

Daniel Sanchez
Community Organizer
Doña Ana County
In my experience, society only progresses as fast as our slowest progressing person. We have a social responsibility to give the proper tools and opportunities to everyone. With proper tools and opportunities we can insure that everyone has the ability to keep up and grow. Our children deserve to inherit a world of possibilities not problems.

Viviana Arciniega
Community Organizer
Doña Ana County
I have been organizing and leading in my community for almost 10 years. This work is important to me because I care about the well-being, freedom and rights of people who in some way or another have felt that their rights have been denied or forgotten. I advocate and continue in la lucha because I want to see and live in a more inclusive and accepting community where justice is fair, voices are heard, and change is done for the better.
