The Plight of Transnational Women and How You Can Help Them

This interview with Leilani Montes, "a transnational mujer who celebrates and weaves the roles of organizer and advocate across her professional, activist and personal life" on  ColorLines caught my attention.

"Where are people looking for inspiration?

But there’s a lot of inspiration to be drawn from the idea of pa’lante siempre (always charging forward). First generation immigrants come here, and they have all the hope in the world for their kids. The inspiration for a lot of older people are the DREAM activists, they’re so inspired by this youth-led movement, what an act of resistance. That is a clear example of where the transnational story will continue."
