Daniela Vega joined the ACLU-SDIC as an organizer in August 2024. As a lifelong resident of Imperial County and daughter of immigrant farmworkers, Daniela is fueled by her passion for working families and climate justice. Daniela graduated from Whittier College with a double major in history and Spanish.
Prior to joining the ACLU-SDIC team, Daniela was the labor relations representative with the California School Employees Association, advocating for the success, working conditions and contracts of classified employees in Imperial County.
