Who we are
Meet Our Founder
Rúben Partida
A story of resilience, hope, and transformation from the heart of the Imperial Valley.
Through his personal struggle, he realized that his story was not unique. Thousands of farmworkers across the region face the same risks every single day. This understanding ignited his conviction that no one else should endure what he did. And that conviction moved him to take action.
This is how “Comité de Acción del Valle, Inc.” came to life, an organization dedicated to protecting the health of agricultural communities and promoting a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable agricultural environment.
