2025 Annual Report
In 2025, IORC saw change with the addition of, Julia Santiago, who joined our team mid-2025 ready to hit the ground running with our Heat and Smoke Campaign. As our new Bilingual Community Organizer, Julia’s focus was to reestablish Visión 2C Resource Council and continue the Farmworker Storytelling Project. As the statewide organizer for the Farmworker Justice Campaign she helped further organize the Idaho Immigrant Resource Alliance, IORC’s service based arm. In early 2025, Jacky Vazquez our Office Manager became a full-time employee as well as our Communications Coordinator. The last quarter of 2025, Jacky, also helped establish the Idaho Familias Assistance Fund alongside the ACLU, curating mutual aid for families who have been separated due to immigration here in Idaho.
2024 Annual Report
2024 was a year of transition and transformation for IORC. We said goodbye to our board who had graciously kept us afloat during the various structural changes that IORC went through in the past two years. We honor the service of Elaine Kazakoff, Carrie Seymor, Christina Stucker-Gassi, and Linda Leeuwrik and their continued support to IORC outside of a board of directors position. I also recognize and highlight the service of our long-time bilingual community organizer, Samantha Guerrero Martinez, who transitioned out of her role in December. I am grateful for all the time, work, and support all these folks have put into IORC and the support they continue to give us.
