XAVIER BARRAZA
Co-Founder & Capacity Building and Program Coordinator
Xavier grew up between a family ranch in southeast New Mexico and family home in the South Valley. He first crossed paths with elders in the organizing community through hip-hop, poetry and popular education to foster consciousness as a young person in 2010. Since his practice has evolved into being part of the larger whole of people working to cultivate a buen vivir, a good life. Which for X is land-based ways of living, localized economies, direct democracy, traditional ecological knowledge and being a good relative.
