Brief Bio

Amanda Garcés, Technology Development, Mobile Voices Coordinator and former day laborer organizer (IDEPSCA), brings an extensive background in organizing day laborers and other immigrant groups in New Jersey and Los Angeles. As an immigrant, she knows of the daily struggles immigrants face and has dedicated herself to achieving social justice for immigrant families. Her commitment to the growth of organizations that support immigrant rights has prompted her to co-develop popular communication projects. She co-created mobile voices because she believes that we must become our own media and follow IDEPSCA’s motto of "reading reality to write our own history". She is currently finishing her MA in Education leadership and change at Antioch University Los Angeles and is also the administrative controller at IDEPSCA.
