In Texas, a call to action against white supremacy by Michelle Garcia, CNN Opinion

Excellent piece in CNN.com written by journalist, Michelle Garcia.  She does a great job of showing how racism and white supremacy are institutionalized in Texas historically with a unique, specific brand of anti-Mexican-ness.  The irony of all this is that those that want to hurt and diminish not only our voices, but our very presence, is that their rhetoric, policies, and actions function to further unify the Latino community in solidarity.  

Glad to see this benefit concert taking place in El Paso soon in order to say "no" to white supremacy.  And as UCLA Professor Dr. Matt Barreto indicates, I, too, feel confident that these sentiments will show up at the ballot box in 2020.
