From Mission, Texas, John-Michael attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he got involved with the Student/Farmworker Alliance and the farmworker-led Campaign for Fair Food. After graduating, he returned home to South Texas and joined local organizing efforts for farmworker rights and against corporate-led globalization. He now works as Communications Coordinator for La Unión del Pueblo Entero, founded by farmworker leader Cesar Chavez, and is happy to add his granito de arena to the struggle for infrastructure equality in the low-income neighborhoods of the Rio Grande Valley.
