Cassandra Bocanegra is the senior manager of organizing for the Finger Lakes Region of the New York Immigration Coalition. She says of herself “Since I was born in Texas and had the privilege of being documented I was taught to appreciate that privilege and use it to speak up when I saw injustices in my community. My parents are both undocumented immigrants, so there are certain things that I can do that my parents and others in my community could not.” Cass has been using the privileges of her documentation and her connection to the undocumented community, and her energy and many talents, to fight the violent repression of the current administration. We are privileged to have her speak with us. |
