The First Generation daughter of immigrants, she grew up watching her undocumented mother and father work endless hours and hold multiple jobs to make ends meet. She carries her parents with her, a reminder to never forget where she came from.
Her 10-year career as a social worker only showed her what she already lived–the impacts of poverty in her community. After seeing her neighbors failed by our institutions, Sol left her role at the Dept. of Social Services, and committed to building community power full-time.
While in her position with Together Colorado, a coalition of faith-based organizations, Sol trained and organized people to advocate for collective bargaining rights for state employees, eliminating the state preemption on increasing the minimum wage, and creating a Paid Family and Medical Leave insurance program. She is currently advocating for health equity with the Colorado Trust.
Sol lives in Pueblo with her two children and her dog Esteban.- I am a working-class, born and bred union woman who will never forget where I come from or the people who put me into office.
- I am a mother of two children, and I will not stop fighting until the world is a better place for them.
- It's important that people who look like me see themselves reflected in their elected representatives. My heritage and identity are what made me into the person I am today.
Healthcare is also incredibly important to me, personally. There have been times I've felt like a bad mother because I wasn't able to afford the best health care for my children, and I know there are so many parents out there who feel the same way I did. People should not be going into bankruptcy because they got sick, we need universal public healthcare now.
