Ryan Camero, from Stockton, CA, began volunteering with Restore the Delta in 2010 to understand community resilience amidst social challenges and water issues. His interest in art and storytelling led him to the Beehive Collective. Collaborating with Restore the Delta and Food and Water Watch, Camero conceptualized "Sucked Dry" in 2014, a presentation with Beehive Collective graphics that linked California's water privatization to struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects in Mesoamerica.

Last fall, Camero toured 18 California cities, presenting "Sucked Dry" and facilitating discussions on the fragile Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Now employed by Restore the Delta, he continues to act as a "cross-pollinator," fostering collaborations across organizations to address interconnected social, environmental, and economic inequities.
