<p> I was “raised union.”</p>
<p> My mother, who immigrated to the United States from Nicaragua, worked the 3 p.m. to midnight shift at a toy factory after the birth of my younger twin sisters. She was a member of the United Rubber Workers, which later merged with the Steelworkers Union.</p>

<p> Vivimos momentos que hubieran enorgullecido a César Chávez. Por primera vez en décadas, los trabajadores del país han dicho “¡basta!” y exigido el respeto de quienes los emplean.</p>
<p> En ésta nos jugamos todos los que no somos ricos o superricos nuestro futuro económico y nuestra capacidad de frenar a los enemigos de la salud de nuestras comunidades.</p>

<p> As a proud New Yorker and the mother of a first responder who lost his life on September 11, 2001, I am saddened to learn that Rep. Peter King (R-NY) is holding congressional hearings, March 10, on the “radicalization of American Muslims.”</p>
