Héctor Gerardo co-founded SEAmarron Farmstead, 1 Freedom for All, and E&G Community Builders. He built these businesses with one thing in mind: building people power in BIPOC communities. Héctor has dedicated his life to organizing youth, teaching them about power–the power they have individually and as a collective–and the power and potential of their communities. Throughout his career, food insecurity has been the preeminent issue to tackle. Héctor is now building a multi-layered, long-term agenda to end food insecurity by farming and organizing communities to build power and reimagining a new world centered around justice and equity.
