I close this presidential year with hope for the future, and that our organization continues to flourish and accomplish many great things. This past year was difficult because of the pandemic. Nevertheless, we succeeded. Not once did I hear any of our Reformistas say “I can’t” or “that is not possible.” Reformistas stayed positive and turned impossible challenges into possible solutions. So for that, I thank you REFORMA for a wonderful year!

Tengo el privilegio de haber trabajado por 20 años en el movimiento de derechos laborales para trabajadores inmigrantes. He visto a trabajadores de la costura protestando afuera de tiendas de moda exigiendo que su ropa se produzca en condiciones justas; a trabajadoras domésticas abogando para el uso de productos de limpieza que no dañen su salud; a trabajadores agrícolas pidiendo protección del calor y humo de incendios forestales; a limpiadoras de edificios (janitors) que trabajan solas en la noche haciendo una huelga de hambre para exigir un fin al acoso sexual; y a trabajadores de restoranes de comida rápida protestando porque su empleador no los estaba protegiendo del COVID-19.
