Member Representative
Antonia Zavala is a mother, tenant, and community leader from Tlaxcala, Mexico. She has lived in North Long Beach since 1996, where she found not just a home, but a community. When her building was sold in 2019 and dozens of families, including her own, faced eviction, Antonia stepped up. With courage and determination, she helped organize her neighbors, advocated for their rights, and became a trusted tenant organizer. Through her leadership, they won protections and built a movement. For Antonia, tenant organizing is about dignity, family, and the power of community. She continues to organize so that all families can stay rooted in the place they call home.
