Neidi is a committed organizer, experienced campaigner, and visionary strategist in the immigrant rights and workers rights movements. She has been recognized as a Ford Global Fellow and an Aspen Job Quality Fellow for her leadership in the labor movement.

Neidi migrated from Mexico at the age of 9 with her mother and younger sister to Pasadena, California, and began her involvement in social justice organizing from a very young age with the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California (IDEPSCA). Formerly undocumented herself, she was a central leader in the campaign to win Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

In Los Angeles, CA, Neidi was first introduced to the traditional labor movement through the CLEAN Carwash campaign that successfully unionized hundreds of carwash workers into the United Steel Workers union. She served various roles, including Co-Director, in this unprecedented campaign that brought together climate organizations, community groups and unions to permanently change the working conditions of car wash workers in that city. She has served as the Deputy Director of the Community Engagement and National Director of Worker Center Partnerships at the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), the Special Assistant to the General President and Coordinator of the National Strategic Campaigns Department for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT), Senior Advisor for Mijente’s Fuera Trump Initiative, and the National States Deputy Director of the U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign, where she played a critical role to ensure the primary wins for the Senator in NV and CA. She currently serves on the Executive Boards of several movement organizations, including Jobs with Justice, Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, the New World Foundation and the Mijente Leadership Circle.
