Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the AFL-CIO will be profiling leaders and activists to spotlight the diverse contributions Hispanics and Latinos have made to the labor movement. Today's profile features Trisha Garcia.
Trisha Garcia is a force both in her community and in the Fontana Unified School District system, which recently named her Classified Employee of the Year. She volunteers at Music Changing Lives, a nonprofit that empowers youth through the arts, and leads her local union's Next Gen committee. She's also active with USW Women of Steel, and prioritizes justice and equity in all she does.
