Every day the injustices I witness invigorate me to continue to fight for a world with less violence and more impartiality. When I see the unjustified deaths of unarmed African American youth solely based on the complexion of their skin and rights denied to DACA recipients and DREAMers as their lives and futures are torn apart, I am moved to act. It’s hearing mi gente, my people, called “rapists and criminals.” It’s the prejudice and the abomination that the LGBT community faces for being themselves that have me dream of giving back those voices to whom have been silenced. My aspirations drove me to become a part of LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens; being involved in this organization changed my life in unimaginable ways.
