ORGULLO HISPANO - PROUD HISPANIC
Leobardo (Leo) Morales
Leo Morales was born in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico and immigrated to United States in 1989 at the age of ten. 
Since his arrival, Leo began working in the labor fields of the American West alongside his family. For twelve years Leo remained a field worker, from third grade on up to his sophomore year in college at which point he left the labor fields.
Having worked first hand as a farmworker, Leo joined passionately the minimum wage campaign for farmworkers in 1999 as a freshman student at Boise State University. Through the labor of many organizations and individuals, the minimum wage campaign came to an end when Governor Kempthorne signed the legislation into law in March of 2001.
Leo continues to work for farmworker justice issues in Idaho. During the summer of 2005 and 2006, Leo was involved in a state campaign to address pesticide exposure to Idaho farmworkers. For the past several years Leo has also joined national efforts to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. He currently works as a senior organizer on comprehensive immigration reform for the Idaho Community Action Network (ICAN). He received his BA degree in Political Science from Boise State University in 2004.
