A very good and a very brave woman.

3/5ths you have to admit that this is what we all should be doing right now as citizens of this coutry. Look at how powerful the mass of people were. Watch that video. We have fogotten we have a voice in numbers. We use to all come toghther like this and change things. Now we blog!

Let me count the ways that Kica is fearless

• Worked as a federal public defender in Philadelphia representing death row inmates
  
  
• Took over as director of JUNTA for Progressive Action and put almost a decade of hard work and love into the community center at a time when "the windows were boarded up, the paint was peeling and the organization offered English classes, a food pantry and little else" according to the Courant. She built a tremendous adult education program with English classes, citizenship classes and GED, and brought in legal services, human rights advocacy, employment counseling, help for small business owners, family counseling, youth programs and more.
  
  
• Defending the Elm City ID Card when she was Community Services Administrator for the City, and KKK groups descended on New Haven from around the country and sent her thousands of death threats
  
  Let me count the ways that Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy is being renewed
  
• Youth have been sitting in at the Florida state capitol for 17 days demanding a special legislative session to prevent the next Trayvon Martin killing, demanding that "black lives matter." (Hey 3/5th, they are black youth, undocumented immigrant youth, as well as youth who are undocumented AND black -- check them out!)
  
• Another group of youth have been put into solitary confinement at a privately owned immigration prison in Eloy, Arizona, after they turned themselves in to immigration authorities to expose the death and needless suffering of millions inside detention.
  
  Civil disobedience is a memo to lawmakers in Washington and everywhere: try losing your fear and standing on the side of justice. It won't be easy. Everyone will criticize you. You will have to make sacrifices. In the end, you'll be one step closer to defending a dream.

Kica Matos is a phenomenal woman, who works hard to pursue rights for those who are underprivileged. Bill Saunders be shamed. What have YOU done for people who are discriminated against?
