Victoria Ruiz is a musician and activist from Providence, Rhode Island. She is the front person in Downtown Boys and Malportado Kids. She got involved in music as a Latina activist interested in the intersectionality between race, class, and culture. She has worked as a labor organizer, social worker for the Rhode Island Public Defender, art instructor, and currently works as a Campaigner for Demand Progress. She is excited to be on tour with her band for their release of "Full Communism," a full length record released on Don Giovanni Records.
