Alexis learned to organize within the community and build a collective voice in response to SB 1070’s unjust practices. His experience grew from canvassing into organizing field teams, actions and more as a Field Director. As Executive Director of Agave Community Threads, he leads efforts to empower communities and drive systemic change.
