Martha joined the ROP board in 2017. Although new to activism, Martha comes across as a seasoned organizer, with great instincts and a keen sense of strategy. She is one of the founders and leaders of Hood River Latino Network, serves on the leadership team of Gorge ICE Resistance and is one of the lead organizers of the Hood River Rapid Response Team. In addition to forming and organizing these groups, Martha has also organized rallies in support of Dreamers, served as a spokesperson during the hunger strikes at NORCOR regional jail, and helped organize other leaders in Hood River to meet with and challenge the mayor and county commission to take action on their local jail’s contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Martha hit the ground running with her activism and has become a true force in the Gorge. Her heart, commitment, and extraordinary instincts make her an incredible addition to our board, where she now serves as Chair.
