Mayra Pelagio
Mayra Pelagio is the Executive Director for Latinos United for a New America (LUNA) and works to enhance the organization's mission to help Latino immigrants take positive action to address challenges that affect their daily lives.

Mayra was born and raised in Penjamo, Guanajuato, and at the age of 13 she set roots in East San Jose with her family.
