Steven was born in Mexico City and he is a DACA recipient. After learning about the Civil Rights Movement in high school and reading about the marches, protests, and rallies people organized in hopes of advancing justice and dignity for all, a desire to do something similar for the immigrant community sparked in him. After obtaining DACA status in 2013, he began working at Mi Familia Vota (MFV), which has allowed him to empower and engage members of his community to continue to bring about positive social change.
