Damara has served as the national coordinator of Just Harvest USA since March 2008. From 1999-2005, she lived and worked in Immokalee, FL, the state's largest migrant farmworker community. During this time, she worked closely with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), first as the Farmworker Justice Coordinator for Catholic Charities, and later as the Director of Interfaith Action of Southwest Florida, a faith-based organization dedicated to supporting the CIW's efforts for justice in the fields.

In late 2005, she transitioned to the West Coast and now calls Oakland, CA her home. She brings a wealth of experience in the areas of community organizing, corporate accountability campaigns, creative direct action, and the farmworker justice movement. Damara believes passionately in building a food system where farmworkers -- and all men and women working to bring food to our tables -- are treated with dignity and respect.
