I want to be a part of changing the way Hispanics are treated, especially by the police. Many people in my community do not trust law enforcement because of past experiences where they were treated unfairly or judged. As a Hispanic, I understand how these experiences can make it challenging to feel safe and supported. I want to become a voice for the voiceless in my community. Those who have been unjustly treated or unfairly judged because of their ethnicity. I want to be a voice for those who feel like they do not have one.

I believe that by raising awareness of the issues Hispanics face and providing education on navigating the justice system, I can help empower people to stand up for their rights and challenge discrimination. My goal is to learn how to use the knowledge I gain to help people who are in situations like mine. I want to fight for fairness and make sure that the law works for everyone, not just some people.
