Highlights from Day 7
“At long last communities are seeking solutions from the bottom up, rather than the top down.” -Carlos Graupera, Spanish-American Civic Association
“It’s really about how do we build power? How are we able to build power for workers? How are we able to build power for communities?” -Renaye Manley, SEIU
“The way things work now, poor people are punished simply for being poor.” -Akiesha Anderson, Alabama Appleseed Center for Law & Justice
“We can’t wait for a time when it’s convenient to address the issue of segregation. The longer we wait to address the issue of segregation, the more generations of students are in an unjust system of education.” -Ananya Tadikonda, Former Student Member, Montgomery County Board of Education
