Rochelle Martin

Lorena Garcia Zermeño
Policy Coordinator
My own experience growing up as a Latina immigrant is what has brought me to RJ
Michelle
Community Organizer
Key to Michelle’s understanding of and struggle for RJ are empowerment through liberatory education, labor and community organizing, and an abolitionist framework
Martha Pineda
Community Engagement and Organizing Coordinator
From a young age I clearly saw the disproportionate expectations imposed on different genders, and how these expectations negatively affected women socially and economically. I am a firm believer that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color deserve justice, respect, and love in a world that has historically dismissed their needs and existence.
Sami Watts
Digital Media Associate
Sami’s personal experiences as a Latina and an artist in the predominantly white, heteropatriarchal field of classical music led her to RJ advocacy work.
