Description:
A bilingual-bicultural Southwesterner by birth--Texas/Mexico border--as an adult I've lived in California, Washington DC, New Mexico, and New York. I've been involved with political or community organizing in some form or another since I was a teenager, from advocating for summer jobs for youth, unionizing farmworkers, peace activism, anti-nuclear work, to immigrant rights advocacy and tenant association building.
Now in my fifties, my main interests are: working with community groups resisting gentrification of working class neighborhoods in New York City, understanding radical political economy and the practice of counseling as it applies to those who were raised poor and to people of color.
Personal organization is my number one challenge, the thing I have to "get under control" in order to succeed in my personal and collaborative projects.
