In this episode Diana talks to Elisa Batista, a mom, writer, community organizer and activist based out of Berkeley. They discuss Latinx power, why coalition-building is important and why we must demystify voting.
Elisa is currently working on a book with Presente.org Executive Director Matt Nelson tentatively titled "¡Presente! Latinx Power Remaking Democracy." Presente.org, is the nation's largest digital Latinx organization with more than 500,000 member-volunteers advancing social justice through technology, media and culture.
This power mom also discusses how Latinx families and today's youth are at the forefront of combatting climate change, and why communities must work together to get things done.
