Brenda Bentley (she/hers) was born in Los Angeles, CA and raised by the matriarchy: mother, grandmother, and aunties. She was inducted into the ethos of civil disobedience and the DIY attitude through her involvement in the 70's punk movement. Brenda spends her life using her creativity in various ways. For 23 years living abroad, she worked in set design and wardrobe in film and music, creating altars and transforming spaces while living in community with the Aboriginal community of Australia, the Maori community of New Zealand, and the Romany culture of the Czech Republic. Through these experiences, she learned about the violent impact of colonialism on indigenous cultures. Overseeing the Artivism at C2C, as well as coordinating the Dignity Vigils and our direct actions, Brenda dedicates herself to making sure art and culture are visible and celebrated in immigrant- and farmworker-led movements.

My name is Australia Tobon and I belong to a family of highly skilled farm workers from Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. I'm one of our c2c Promotoras that provides solidarity support to our local women-led farmworker leadership. Each week, our promotora team gets the opportunity to advance the farmworker movement by learning and practicing alternatives to corporate industrial agriculture such as cooperative development and active participatory democracy while strengthening our farmworkers/immigrant ecosystems of care. One of my favorite aspects of being part of the c2c team is that we organize by honoring and respecting our community's will and capacity to lead themselves within their realities.
