16 Sep 2008As soon as I could, I voted. As soon as my younger sister and prima could, I dragged their asses to vote. My hijas have been with me inside the voting booth and I explain the process, and no just the mechanics of pulling the lever (we’re still old school here in NYC), and no not just the political game/sideshow.
I don’t lie about my own ambivalence after stolen elections and the fact that my own familia who lives in Puerto Rico can’t vote ambivalent. Pero given the reality of the day, what is happening in our communities, can we afford not to vote, not to engage?
