God always strives together with those who strive.

Strive towards fire;
Then you'll have fire.
Ignite fire.
Throw body, soul and spirit in fire;
Then you have dead and living fire.
It becomes black yellow white red fire.
Give birth to your children in fire.
Feed, water and nourish them in fire.
Then they live and die in fire.
Their silver and gold all become fire,
And finally become a fourfold philosophical fire.

Assemblymember Alvarez honors Rigoberto Reyes with a state resolution for his 40 years of service with Via International. Bio - Rigoberto Reyes
Rigoberto Reyes is a community organizer with deep roots in the San Diego/Tijuana border region. He joined the staff of Via International in 1984 and is celebrating his 40th year with the nonprofit organization in 2024. He is a revered and respected leader in the Chicano community of San Diego. His life and work represents a constant striving for social justice. His impact has been profound.
Rigo was born in San Diego in the 1950s and grew up in the projects of San Ysidro. As an adolescent in the 1960s, Rigo heard about the Civil Rights Movement and what was happening across the country in Alabama. Rigo realized that the African American community was not the only community being affected by the powerful establishment. Rigo’s community, then called “Mexican-American,” also started to wake up to the injustices they faced around this time. In an article Rigo published in 2016, he describes the San Ysidro Civic Center as a central meeting place for rallies and dialogues in the 60s and 70s. “I remember playing marbles at the park listening to Cesar Chavez rallying farm workers that lived in Tijuana and in the nearby border communities. I had no clue who Chavez was until I heard my Tio (Uncle) Lorenzo talking about him.”
As a young teenager at Southwest Junior High School, Rigo and his friends overheard a group of older teenaged activists who called themselves the San Ysidro chapter of the Brown Berets. They were planning to go to Logan Heights to support another chapter over a dispute with the city of San Diego. Rigo decided to join. Having never been north of Chula Vista, he naively hopped on his bicycle, and arrived three hours later at Chicano Park on what happened to be Day 2 of the historic takeover of Chicano Park in April 1970. Rigo never looked back. Starting in April 1970, he became an activist for the Chicano community, and today he is one of the most revered and respected members of this community.
Rigo Reyes' Life, Work, and Legacy
Rigoberto Reyes' life and work has shaped Via International, where he has worked for 40 years, touching communities across the border region and the country at large. Rigo joined the Via staff in 1984 and will retire in Spring 2024.
Here at Via International we have debated for years how best to translate into English the Spanish phrase, "superación humana." The most literal translations -- "human overcoming," or "human thriving" -- just don't seem to capture it. Superación humana suggests a dynamic, ever-unfolding process by which both human individuals and collectives are transformed for the better over time. When this process is unleashed, everyone caught up in it becomes more just, more productive, more fully human. There is no better example of the phrase superación humana than Rigoberto Reyes.
In Tijuana and Mexicali, Mexico, Rigo led Via’s 35-year old promotora training (community outreach worker) and formation program in its early years. Rigo crossed the border daily to support the formation of groups, first working with one person, then guiding others to form bonds and community cohesion. Via’s distinctive promotoria program emphasizes personal development, self-reliance, and community development. Rigo supported participants - mostly women - in improving family nutrition, obtaining employment, achieving higher degrees of education and certification, starting a small business through microcredit, and becoming leaders in their communities.
Here in San Diego, Rigo brings these same strategies to local Chicano youth in Logan Heights and beyond. Rigo is a founding pillar of the Chicano Park community and has actively supported the Chicano Park Steering Committee, the grassroots organization that curates the largest collection of Chicano murals in the United States. He is well-known for hosting more than 300 low-rider cars that participate every year in Chicano Park Day, a landmark event for which Via serves as fiscal sponsor. He has also supported Via in launching food security programs, nutrition and ecology trainings, small business incubation, and cultural programming that centers Chicano activists, artists, advocates, and entrepreneurs.
Through Via’s university travel and service immersion program, Rigo has mentored and hosted students from prestigious academic institutions across the country visiting the border. Across many years he developed a curriculum for this work that centers wisdom keepers in the host community. This cross-cultural immersion in local communities invites young people into the participatory process of discovering who they are themselves. In this way participants learn about much more than “border issues” -- they learn about the true meaning of community, and they discover new things about themselves, including their own identities as leaders.
Finally, Rigo mentors countless staff within Via who are passionate about community development. Specifically, he has worked with our staff to expand our community development work to recent arrivals and deportees in Tijuana. Rigo works to empower colleagues and mentees to change the systems that shape their lives. Rigo has mentored the Via Migrante team as they work with community leaders to make their way in the world. As in every aspect of our work, our Via Migrante programming prior-itizes emerging leaders from within the communities we serve, empowering them to change the systems that shape their lives. Following Rigo’s example, our Via Migrante team continues to “learn by doing,” as we have for almost 50 years.
This expansive legacy of work gives you the idea of what “superación humana” looks like. Rigoberto Reyes has embodied this ethos in a way that will live on -- here at Via International, in communities throughout the border region, and in the communities we touch throughout the world.
