Victor Galván (he, his, him) is a Rocky Mountain native and was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. He began organizing in the immigrant community in 2008 at age 16 through Padres Y Jóvenes Unidos. In 2012, Victor joined the CIRC team to help mobilize Latino and immigrant voters in the general election and was instrumental in the campaign to win ASSET in-state tuition equity in 2013. Victor’s voice helped to ensure that ASSET included state-funded scholarships for undocumented students. He proudly identifies himself as Undocumented and unafraid. He has continued to lead CIRC’s voter engagement campaign as the Director of Membership and Engagement. He is on track to complete a voter campaign of over 50,000 doors and 73,000 phone calls in order to turn out close to 5,000 minority and immigrant voters in the state of Colorado’s 2018 election.
“Through the TLC Fellowship I am hoping to improve my skills as a director in my organization through the expertise and skills of others in the program and I hope that I can help share my skills as a coalition and movement builder. Not only am I committed to seeking new ways of leading my organization but how to lead from the back and learn how to lift up and prop up other in order to reach our goals not only to create opportunities but to also to focus on legacy and leaving something sustainable after i am gone.“
