Meet Jen

Jennifer and her family have called Southern Arizona home for decades. She is a community leader with a collaborative problem-solving approach that has been forged over decades of experience leading organizations on the front lines of some of the toughest issues in Arizona and nationally. Jen has built her career on using her values to guide her work including serving as Executive Director of ACLU of Arizona, Senior Vice President at League of Conservation Voters, the Founding National Director of Chispa, the Founding Executive Director of Border Action Network, a staff member at Western Shoshone Defense Project, and serving on the boards of Las Adelitas Arizona and GreenLatinos. From immigration to protecting our democracy to climate change and more, Jen doesn’t back down from a challenge while always working to build broad coalitions. She is the dedicated mamá of an 11-year-old bilingual public school student, partner of a City of Tucson employee, sister of a union truck driver, and daughter of parents who taught her the values of compassion and hard work.
