Forced hysterectomies. Appalling medical neglect by ICE.

5. BLOG: I Got Involved for My Son Javi

"Over that year I learned one of the most important lessons of my life - that democracy is not a spectator sport.  It’s not enough to vote every couple of years and consider your work done...It would be easy to wallow in despair, to give up.  But it wouldn’t be right, and it wouldn’t be American, at least not in the way John Lewis and RBG wanted us to be."
