Moisés is dedicated to advancing racial equity and environmental justice within government initiatives. His work has involved removing barriers to state funding, enhancing protections for tribal cultural and traditional uses of water, and raising public awareness of groundwater contamination. He has prioritized meaningful community engagement and improved language access, while celebrating cultural diversity in environmental stewardship. Moisés has built strong partnerships with communities most impacted by environmental injustice, including California Native American tribes, low-income populations, and communities of color. His lived experiences deeply inform his commitment to tackling environmental injustice.
Originally from the East Coachella Valley, bordering California’s Salton Sea, Moisés holds a Bachelor of Arts in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies from the University of Florida.
