Amy Casso

Amy Casso’s professional and personal experience for the last 12 years has focused on working with communities of color, immigrants, and the Latin@ community at national, state and community capacities. Through her work with Colectivo Flatlander, she has developed curriculum and facilitated a series of capacity-building trainings with community and immigrant organizers. But it is her profound work with PCUN and Causa (Oregon Statewide Immigrant Right Coalition) that shaped her organizing and advocacy framework. As a field organizer for the National Organizers Alliance, she strengthened her organizational and programmatic development processes and community organizing analysis. In her current position, as Policy Analyst with La Fe Policy Research and Education Center, Amy works to integrate research and data analysis, community engagement and policy analysis to achieve community solutions that reflect her community’s values and needs.
