Martha Verduzco (she/her/ella) joined the ROP Board in 2017 and served as Chair until transitioning onto staff in 2024. She is one of the founders and leaders of Hood River Latino Network and was a key leader in the campaigns to support hunger strikers at the NORCOR regional jail in the Gorge. After years of organizing to end NORCOR’s contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), they were successful in 2021! In addition to forming and organizing with these groups, Martha has also organized community cultural celebrations that have brought together hundreds of people, planned rallies in support of Dreamers, and mobilized support for pro-immigrant legislation in Oregon. Martha’s heart, commitment, and extraordinary instincts have made her an incredible Board Chair, and we are thrilled for her to be transitioning onto the staff team.
