Vicki Gaubeca

In 2009, Vicki Gaubeca became the director of the ACLU-New Mexico (ACLU-NM) Regional Center for Border Rights, based in Las Cruces, where she has helped develop and implement its mission of addressing civil and human rights violations that stem from border-specific immigration policy and enforcement. The Center stands with border communities to defend and protect America’s constitutional guarantees of equality and justice for all families to live freely, safely, and with dignity. She has more than 20 years of experience in policy advocacy, community organizing, public affairs, communications, and public health in a variety of settings. Born and raised in Mexico City, she joined ACLU-NM from Tucson, where she was a passionate advocate and supporter for both immigrant rights and the LGBTQ community.
