Gloribel Rivas
Board Chair
she, her, hers
Gloribel Rivas is Chief of Staff to State Representative Adrian C. Madaro, who represents East Boston in the Massachusetts Legislature. As an immigrant from El Salvador and a long-time East Boston resident, she has always been distinctly aware of the ways in which she and her loved ones are forced to fight for their basic health and wellness and locked out of opportunity simply because of who they are. This has driven her passion for social justice and solidified her solidarity with oppressed people, leading her to a career in public service.
Gloribel is enthusiastic about building genuine relationships within communities like hers that have traditionally been marginalized and excluded from the political process in order to achieve a more representative and responsive democracy. Through Representative Madaro’s office, she enjoys fostering those relationships to support Representative Madaro's work with residents from East Boston, Chelsea, and other communities across the Commonwealth in reclaiming open space and advancing environmental justice.
