Elsa Collins and Carmen Perez-Jordan, two of the cofounders of Poderistas, an organization dedicated to organizing and leveraging Latina power, joined us for a conversation on how history is connected to the lived realities of Latino's today. We discussed the need to recognize our shared struggles and to work in solidarity to leverage our power. Although those in power have always sought to divide us, there is freedom in using our collective power for liberation. 

These dynamic women not only organize through Poderistas but have started other organizations dedicated to addressing systemic racism in the criminal legal system and helping vulnerable families at the US-Mexico border. Check them out at poderistas.com.
