"I have been working to build grassroots power and collective action based on values of justice, love, and compassion." -Deycy
Principal consultant
"I was raised by my grandmother in Mexico City before coming to Los Angeles as a teenager to reunite with my parents. I was introduced to community organizing during my senior year in high school when as an undocumented student I was unable to pursue my dreams of a college education and I saw my family and community at the crossfire of anti-immigrant legislation and attacks. For the past 20 years, I have been working to build grassroots power and collective action based on values of justice, love, and compassion." -Deycy
