One of IWF's primary partners and an IWF Board Member, Rosalinda Guillen, has been profiled on Capital Press, one of the premier sources of information for agriculture on the West Coast.  Rosalinda is the executive director of Community to Community Development, a nonprofit women-led grassroots organization, that works for a just society and healthy communities.  Much of Rosalinda's life of organizing has been focused on assisting farmworkers and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Cookson Beecher, reporter at the Capital Press, interviewed Rosalinda at her office in Bellingham about her life and her thinking about the importance of farmworkers and sustainable farming in the world today.  Beecher also asked people who've worked with Rosalinda about what she does and how they work with her.  Paul Grey, executive director of Whatcom Farm Friends, said that Rosalinda is "the voice of the farm laborers.  She's a beacon in the darkness when a farmworker family is in trouble (with immigration enforcement)," he said. "She's an informed advocate working within a system that's broken. She's got a heart of gold and puts service above self."
