Claudia Quiñonez serves as the National Organizing and Membership Co-Director for United We Dream and United We Dream Action. Originally from Bolivia, she migrated to the United States due to political instability and severe climate change. She began her organizing journey over a decade ago, fighting for in-state tuition for undocumented students in Maryland. Before joining United We Dream, Claudia worked on the grassroots implementation of the Affordable Care Act with communities of color. She also served as the Education Justice Organizer for CASA, where she worked with immigrant parents and children to improve the education conditions in marginalized communities. She came to United We Dream in 2017, after the 2016 presidential elections. Claudia has always been driven by a deep desire to be in the community and build power with other immigrant youth.
