I am very pleased to announce that Ruth Trujillo-Acosta has joined C3's Board of Directors. She brings invaluable experience and wisdom to the board, which are the fruits of her many years of dedication to movements for civil rights and social justice.
Ruth grew up in El Salvador and immigrated to the United States in 1981. Since then, she has been committed to social justice for under represented communities, manifested in her long-standing work in movements for international solidarity, immigrant rights, women’s rights, and against racism and war. Since graduating from Smith College, Ruth has held positions at two Massachusetts-based foundations supporting grassroots organizing in the southern United States and at an organization dedicated to stopping violence against women.
Ruth is a founding member of the Western Massachusetts Coalition for Immigrant and Workers’ Rights and also serves on the Rosenberg Fund for Children Board of Directors.
Ruth's joining our Board makes a strong team even more amazing, and we are all thrilled to welcome her as we continue our work to create a sustainable and collaborative home and resource center for Northampton's nonprofits and artists.
