I joined Líderes Campesinas because the organization has helped me recognize my talents and strengths and because every day I am presented with an opportunity to be the change I want to see in my community. I’m passionate about being witness to our Mission in Action every day and with all my colleagues who make up the movement of campesinas in California and at national level.

I joined the team in a very synchronous way after witnessing for years all of the inequities and injustices endured by farmworker communities here and abroad. The powerful role of women in the Agricultural industry and in their household make them essential leaders in their communities and that was and continues to be what inspires me.

I was a farmworker and my family is farm-working. During this time I saw all the injustice, the lack of training, wage theft and discrimination. This pushed me to do something different in my life and after almost 12 years I am still in this fight.

I’m a survivor of domestic violence, human trafficking, and I’m the daughter of farmworkers. When I heard about Líderes Campesinas, what they do for women’s rights, victims of domestic violence, and when I learned the mission, my passion was born to be part of this organization in order to join this fight and obtain more rights and create changes.

Coming from a family of agricultural workers, and me being a farmworker, I’ve been witness to all the injustice that women and farmworkers face day to day. Because of this, the act of providing services and resources to the agricultural communities is a gratifying experience.

I joined Líderes Campesinas because I am a daughter of farm working parents and I would’ve liked that my parents had a resource to go to and find more help for farmworkers. What I like about Líderes Campesinas is the constant effort to grow the leadership and personal development of farm-working women, and the dedication of the farm-working members to address the problems affecting the farmworking community and ensure they are heard and protected.

I started working for Líderes Campesinas in 2021 under the CWOP project and I knew it was what I was looking for for the Imperial Valley community many years ago. 19 years ago we needed an agency to support the most vulnerable workers here. Líderes Campesinas is an organization made up of farmworkers and it supports farmworkers 100% to advocate for the human rights of each farm worker.

The work of Líderes Campesinas is unique and inspiring, hearing the stories from our membership of how Líderes Campesinas has changed their lives for the better.

I like the work that is done to help rural women because they have been quite disprivileged 1. for being low-income, 2. for being women, and 3. for not knowing about their rights. I can personally say that when I was part of the youth group it helped me a lot to stay away from bad friendships and addictions. It helped me develop great leadership and self-confidence. I visited many places and made many connections. It helped me recognize in time when I found myself with a toxic partner which made it not difficult for me to have to end the relationship because it was early detection.

I love that Líderes Campesinas’s mission is to empower farm-working women and girls. Throughout history, the human rights of many women have been violated just for the simple fact of being called “Woman.” I think that the role of women in society is very important and should be seen as valuable just like that of men regardless of their race or language.

I joined Líderes Campesinas because I saw the need to empower farmworkers since my childhood. My parents were farmers in Mexico and grew many products. I saw how they lived humbly and lacked much education. They emigrated to the United States and many of their rights were violated. I would like to do what I can to inform and advocate for immigrant women and families who made this country their new home so that their human rights are not violated.

Two roads took me to Líderes Campesinas. I was harassed and abused by a ranch manager in the field and at the same time I was experiencing domestic violence. I was an immigrant and I didn’t know anything about the law or the rights I had as a human being. Because of all this, I allowed these abuses, but I was referred to an agency through Líderes Campesinas and since then, I began to see the light. For eight years I’ve been a member volunteer, then I became an alternate in the North Kern chapter and now I am the organizer of the chapter.

My mom and my dad worked in the fields when I was young and I saw them work hard to give me and my sister a better life. Líderes Campesinas helped my mom find a voice and a mission to help women like her. Now I see my mother is very passionate for an organization that helps women like her who have gone through and continue to go through difficulties while they work in the fields. It helped me become involved and want to ensure that everyone who works under these conditions can live the lives that they deserve.

What I am passionate about about Líderes Campesinas is our mission: to promote a better quality of life and working conditions for farm workers.

It is a privilege to participate in an organization that aims to help these workers who are pillars in their families, and in society even when they are not recognized.
