Lucia Gambino is a bilingual Workers’ Rights Organizer at Sur Legal Collaborative, where she leads the Workers’ Advisory Committee program and develops training rooted in immigrant worker leadership and collective power. Born in Miami and raised in Costa Rica and Argentina, Lucia grew up in a mixed status household, an experience that deeply shaped her commitment to justice, dignity, and accessible worker protections.

Lucia studied political science at Georgia State University and has organized with immigrant communities across Northeast Atlanta since the first Trump administration. Her organizing began alongside tenants in the Buford Highway corridor addressing unsafe housing conditions and later expanded to broader community mobilizations, including efforts connected to the Stop Cop City movement.

At Sur Legal, Lucia designs Know Your Rights programs grounded in worker voices and lived experience, with a strong focus on the intersection of immigration and labor. Her work reflects a personal commitment to ensuring that immigrant workers, like those she grew up alongside, have the tools, knowledge, and collective support to advocate for safer workplaces and stronger communities.
