About a month or so ago, I was asked by the local director of the Democratic Club to come and talk briefly about why representation matters. Sadly that weekend I was at Sacramento representing the interest of local children in state policies as Delegate Assemblymember for CSBA. So, I decided to improvise a short video with some of the changes we have done since I started at our school board, and how my historic representation as a Latina on the board had propelled positive change.

It is longer that I expected, but with no practice or preparation was the best I could do that evening after arriving to the hotel. Anyway, I was told it came out ok, so I decided to share it here in this blog, which who knows if anyone would ever see it.

Thanks if you stop by this post, and thanks if you took time to listen to it. Please, consider an endorsement, or even a donation.
