As a youngster and being a Latina, you see so much injustice.

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.

If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?

That's the history of the world. His story is told, hers isn't.

It's important to realize that we all need to work together. With Weaving Movements, we are all interdependent and we all have to work together. If we could just realize that and understand that, we'll keep our country strong.

My kids have lived experiences that could have never been duplicated otherwise. That's one thing about people who get involved in activism, you live so many experiences that otherwise they wouldn't be there. This is why peoples' lives are so enriched.

The first time when I was organizing, I went out and started knocking on doors to see if people were registered to vote. I was a door knocker. I didn't even have the confidence that I could register people, so I just was out there door knocking. That was my first experience.
