True Apodaca

True Apodaca is the Political Director for SEIU Local 105, where he leads legislative strategy, electoral engagement, and coalition building to advance worker power and economic justice in Colorado. With over a decade of experience in policy advocacy and organizing, he has worked alongside janitors, healthcare workers, airport employees, and home care providers to win tangible improvements in wages, benefits, and workplace rights.

Raised in Colorado with deep roots in its communities, True draws on both lived experience and a career spent at the intersection of policy, organizing, and leadership development to move bold ideas into action. He sees employee ownership as a powerful tool for keeping jobs local, building generational wealth, and ensuring that the people who create a business’s value have a real stake in its success. His commitment to RMEOC’s mission is grounded in the belief that democratic, worker-led businesses are essential to closing wealth gaps, sustaining local economies, and building a more equitable future.
