Marco Cesar Lizarraga has dedicated his life to serving farm workers and improving their quality of life, something he understands very well from growing up in that environment. As the executive director of the Sacramento-based La Cooperativa Campesina, a statewide association of agencies implementing and administering farm worker service programs, he has the ability to affect the lives of many. The road to that position was spurred by getting an education and activism, though it began humbly.
