Garza is the Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), which organizes women who work in “informal economies” (such as domestic workers, farmworkers, day laborers, and other occupations that tend to be dominated by poor people).

Garza joined NDWA as a staff member in 2009. Garza is part of the We Belong Together campaign, which seeks to “transform the conversation on immigration reform and public policies” by amplifying immigrant women’s voices and building a broad-based coalition.

Garza was involved in creating both the #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHerName movements. Garza co-founded #BlackLivesMatter in 2013, along with Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin that year; it became one of the most visible and popular social movement groups in the United States by 2014.

In an op-ed written in the wake of George Zimmerman’s acquittal for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Garza said that “the American public witnessed an act of racial profiling, followed by murder. And then the judicial system responded with what can only be described as willful ignorance.”

The August 2014 killing of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri inspired Garza and other activists to take advantage of social media tools to raise awareness about related issues.

That October, following the announcement that no charges would be filed against Wilson in Brown’s death, Garza wrote an op-ed in “The Washington Post” in which she said that “this country was founded on the belief that black people were three-fifths of a person, and that has never really changed” and that “this system was not built to protect us. It was built on our backs.”
