At the One Community breakfast where Luis Gutierrez, Founder and CEO of Latinos Progresando, shared the story of what 1 person can do. “That’s how change happens.” That is absolutely right! Change starts with YOU. 🙌🏽 Latinos Progresando | latinospro.bsky.social

Let's make a deal with the Trump Administration. Reunite all these families immediately and you can go out to eat wherever the fuck you want.

Clarissa Martinez de Castro on why getting oppressed communities out to vote is so important: “Voting is an act of self defense.” Yes, it’s the most powerful weapon we have, and these crazy times call for powerful defense mi gente! UnidosUS Janet Murguía #UnidosUS18

I love that Namaste Charter School, one of my partner schools, is receiving much deserved attention for their Day of Action. Namaste is a great example of thoughtful leadership doing the work for our youth! x.com/janicejackson/…
