As organizations, we have to find ways to create more opportunities, especially for our young people. A lot of corporations, they have to make opportunities for young people - create internships, for example, even if it's only half-time.

We know we only have about half of our population that's voting.

Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.

I was very fortunate to have known Fred Ross Sr., who was organizing the Community Service Organization (CSO) way back in the late 50's and early 60's. I was able to work with him.

I hope people become inspired to become active in their community. That's the important thing.

Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.

We criticize and separate ourselves from the process. We've got to jump right in there with both feet.
