Jessica Govea's work as a labor leader and organizer started at a young age.

Growing up, Govea worked alongside her family in California's cotton fields. When her parents joined the Community Service Organization (CSO)—one of the most important Latinx Civil Rights organizations of the period—she joined the CSO as well, eventually becoming the president of the Junior CSO.

After high school, Govea joined the organization that would eventually become the United Farm Workers (UFW). She became a full-time organizer in the UFW, rising up the ranks so quickly that she was asked to lead the organizing efforts in Montreal, Canada. She was elected to the Board of the Union in 1977.
