A CATA team member recounts witnessing an immigration detention and how that experience strengthened her commitment to action. Through CATA’s Rapid Response team, farmworker outreach, and community advocacy, she helps families find trusted information, resources, and support during frightening moments. Her story reminds us that even one person can make a difference—and no one should face fear alone.

Outreach to immigrant workers begins with something simple but powerful: showing up. As Marisol starts her first visits to labor camps, she focuses on listening, building trust, and connecting people to resources. This work ensures that communities facing isolation and barriers are seen, supported, and empowered.
