Amanda Garces, Technology Development Outreach Coordinator and former day laborer organizer (IDEPSCA), brings an extensive background in organizing day laborers and other immigrant groups in New Jersey and Los Angeles.  As an immigrant, she knows of the daily struggles immigrants face and has dedicated herself to achieving social justice for immigrant families.  About a year ago, she left IDEPSCA as a day laborer organizer to pursue her B.A. at Antioch University, Los Angeles.  Her commitment to the growth of organizations that support immigrant rights has prompted her to develop projects for the advancement of such groups.  She is currently the volunteer Technology Development Project coordinator at IDEPSCA, and volunteer co-coordinator for the radio project at the Garment Worker Center.
