Angel Torres

Community Outreach and Engagement

Angel was born in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. His family migrated to Los Angeles in the late 1980’s when he was five years old. He’s worked in his community around issues of immigration, tenant rights, civil rights, LGBTQ, police brutality, and worker rights. Like many young Xican@s of the time, Angel began to seriously get involved after the massive immigrant rights protest of 2006.

Angel currently resides in the city of Portland, OR where he continues to do work around working class politics. He has organized for the Teamsters union and is currently working for the UFCW union as membership coordinator.
