Rebecca Vigil
Rebecca is the organizer for our NYRA Colorado Node. She was a foster child. Though she was lucky enough to be adopted, she learned early how little autonomy she had, being neurodivergent and a ward of the state. Her battle for bodily autonomy started at the age of 15. She continues to connect with leaders speaking on neurodivergent agency, ageism, bodily autonomy, youth and women’s rights.
Rebecca joined NYRA in November 2025 and currently works on the Action Team
NYRA Colorado
Rebecca Vigil is the organizer of NYRA’s Colorado node, located in Thornton, CO. The Node has the goal of fighting ageism, influencing policy, and creating a community of Youth Rights supporters in Thornton, CO.
