Erika Castro-Portillo
Erika Castro-Portillo (she/her) is the Organizing Director at the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada. She started volunteering to help fight for immigration reform back in 2010 before she had her permit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. After obtaining DACA, she became a staff member in 2015 as the mining justice organizer. Shortly after, she took over the immigrant rights organizing responsibilities and began to lead the Nevada Immigrant Coalition in 2017. Erika graduated from the College of Southern Nevada in 2018 and obtained her Bachelor's in Urban Studies from UNLV in the Spring of 2022. When she isn’t fighting for everything that puts People and Planet First, you can find her having brunch with friends or somewhere enjoying the outdoors with her pup Kovie.
