Solidarity on Tap

Miriam is a proud Mexican immigrant raised in California and is currently living in Brooklyn with her college friends and her cat, Luna. Currently, Miriam works at the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) as the Special Assistant to the Senior Field Director. Her role allows her to have a bird eye view of the field projects happening at the national level and work directly with NDWA’s National Worker Councils. Prior to NDWA, Miriam was a Workers’ Rights Advocacy Coordinator at TakeRoot Justice where she was co-Chair of TRJ’s Union and helped negotiate the organization’s first collective bargaining agreement. In 2017, Miriam was an organizer at Workers Justice Project where she helped develop a hiring hall for women day laborers in Williamsburg. Miriam graduated from the University of San Francisco in 2017 with a B.A. in Politics and Latin American Studies. During her undergraduate career, she gained organizing experience through the fight to make her alma matter become a more inclusive and supportive space for undocumented students. She was the co-founder of UndocuWeek at USF and helped advocate for the Magis Fellowship, a scholarship fund dedicated to undocumented students. She enjoys reading, listening to podcasts, supporting undocumented artists, mentoring, spinning, strenght training, and watching Bollywood movies.
