Alana Adams, JUNTOS

I am the Development and Operations at JUNTOS, a community-led, Latinx immigrant organization in South Philadelphia fighting for our human rights as workers, parents, youth, and immigrants. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, where my commitment to community engagement and social justice was instilled in me from a young age. As a youth, I served as the Co-Chair of the Violets’ Giving Circle, where I moved funding to support the education of women and girls in my community. Over the years, I have continued to work with both local grassroots organizations and global non-profits, which have reaffirmed my commitment to uplifting marginalized communities while building space for joy and prosperity in the face of oppression.
