Sacramento Area Congregations Together (Sacramento ACT) is proud to announce Tere Flores Onofre as the organization’s new permanent Executive Director. A seasoned community organizer with nearly two decades of experience has served as Sacramento ACT’s Interim Executive Director since early 2025. Her appointment reflects the organization’s continued commitment to community-rooted, faith-driven leadership that centers those most impacted by injustice.
“It is an honor and a humbling opportunity to serve this beloved organization that has shaped so much of my journey. Guided by faith, we will continue building collective power with and for our communities,” said Tere Flores Onofre.
Tere began organizing as a high school student and has spent her career leading community-driven efforts focused on immigration reform, police accountability, healthcare access, and climate justice. Before becoming Executive Director, she served as Director of Programs & Strategy at Sacramento ACT and has worked in faith-based organizing networks including Faith in Action and the Laudato Si’ Movement.
“After an extensive search and careful consideration with input from the board, community leaders, and staff, it is with great pleasure that we announce the new permanent executive director of Sacramento ACT, Tere Flores Onofre. Tere began organizing as a high school student, which forged her organizing career. After 20 years as an organizer, her strong faith and leadership will lead Sacramento ACT into the future, especially during these trying and uncertain times.” Sheri Rickman Patrick, Sacramento Act Board Chair.
Flores Onofre, who immigrated from Puebla, Mexico, brings bilingual and bicultural leadership to the role. Her organizing work is deeply informed by her personal experiences and her Catholic faith. A favorite scripture that grounds her justice work is Micah 6:8: “To do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.”
In solidarity,
The Sacramento ACT Board of Directors
