Jose Ramirez Reyes is originally from Ayotlan, Jalisco. Jose began organizing during high school around environmental and racial justice issues. In 2017, Jose began his post-secondary education at the University of California, Merced.

Jose has continued to work across various racial and social justice movements all over the country. He hopes to continue to build on the foundation of powerful leaders and organizers.

Jose hopes to continue to work towards creating a world that values and celebrates our immutable traits and origins.
