Promotoras protest Re:Vision’s treatment of unionized workers
November 29, 2025 // DENVER — “¡Sí, se puede! ¡Sí, se puede!” More than 50 people chanted the phrase — which means “yes, it can be done” in Spanish — outside the Denver nonprofit Re:Vision Tuesday morning. The crowd gathered in the cold to listen to current and former Re:Vision employees and union organizers speak about the leadership of Re:Vision’s executive director Mariana del Hierro. Re:Vision is a food equity nonprofit in Westwood, a predominantly Latino and immigrant community.
Promotoras successfully unionize at Westwood nonprofit Re:Vision
November 10, 2025 // Promotora is a Spanish word which literally translates to “promoter.” They are community health workers. Re:Vision’s promotoras provide food and health education to their community, staff a no-cost grocery store and teach their neighbors how to grow produce at home. The nonprofit has employed a promotora model for community health since 2010. Del Hierro became executive director in 2022. The majority of the organization’s promotoras joined UFCW Local 7, the local chapter of the United Food & Commercial Workers labor union. This move gives the promotoras more leverage in negotiations with Re:Vision management.
