I was proud to have David serve as the Organizing Director at OneAmerica, where he helped build our statewide organizing network using the Latin American concept of “base groups” to expand our presence in places from Skagit County to Yakima to Vancouver.

David described being tortured as “the best experience in my life. Being tortured is like running a marathon. It taught me how committed I am in the struggle for justice. And it has fortified me in some ways, because you learn how much capacity you have in this body.”

David was a husband to a strong wife, & the proud father of a son & two daughters. I send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. A light has gone from our world, but David’s legacy shines brightly w/all those he touched & all the movements he helped build.
