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.

I enjoy working for Líderes Campesinas because it’s an Organization that empowers women to become their own leaders. I wanted to work for an organization that provided a positive impact in our community and support farmworkers and women empowerment.

I came from a background of farm laborers and campesinas, back then there were not any type of organizations like Líderes Campesinas. I really enjoy all the organizational funding, private donations and the hard work of our staff at Líderes Campesinas who wish to support our farm working women.

I had the chance to participate in the youth group during my childhood at Líderes Campesinas and since I was a kid I liked the organization’s movement. What I like the most about Líderes Campesinas is that we ourselves are the ones that improve our own lives

I joined Líderes Campesinas when the Coronavirus pandemic started and it was to help people in the fields to learn how to better protect themselves against the virus. I keep wanting to help people through outreach and information about how to navigate the system in their own communities to have a better quality of life. I enjoy the sisterhood and the passion to learn and share with others.

I joined Líderes Campesinas because I see the same mission in mind that I want for my daughter. As a single mother, I want my daughter and other women to know about this organization and take forward the message that by working together, change can be achieved. I see the effort of my colleagues who, apart from being homemakers, dedicate time to helping other women. I am passionate about the hard work these women do at home, at work, and with the organization. Extremely proud to work with them and the fact that I am a woman to work together.

Líderes Campesinas is an organization that defies the status quo. It demonstrates that immigrant women, farmworking women, indigenous women, young girls, mothers, grandmothers, and women in general can be leaders that can create so much positive change. As a man, I feel in very safe hands under the leadership of the excellent women who are part of this organization. I am here to contribute however I can to our mission and to reach out to more women so that they become aware they have the power to become great leaders.

My family is part of the population that Líderes Campesinas represents and I want to help the movement. Because of them and people like them. I like to see our mission in action. Like seeing all the efforts they make to give a voice to the people who don’t have one in this country. And see the passion and love with which they seek to create change.
