So immigration is something that I, I mean, human rights, civil rights is something that always has been.

I am a teacher, as I said before.

And as a person who kept ground in a country where government was so abusive, your level of consciousness is awakened.

And also thinking that as people, we deserve a good life.

Probably one of the most important

And here in Minnesota, they removed the access to driver licenses.

Personally, it wasn't impacted because I already was a U.S.

I became citizen in 1998.

But...

I saw a lot of people that were impacted.

And also I noticed how immigrants became the scapegoat for a lot of other issues that were impacting the society.

And that's, you know, as a person who I am the first generation immigrant, you feel like, no, we're not.

And so that has been

For that many 20 years, trying to restore the access to driver licenses was key for me.

Yeah, in 2024, when we saw the results of the elections and we obviously knew the promises that were made by back then candidate Trump.

So we began the process of thinking, can we create something that will allow us to teach people about their rights?

And it's not that we are teaching people to protest.

although protesting, peacefully protesting is a right that we all have.
