On Friday, while politicians gathered in Washington to address the Women’s Leadership Forum of the Democratic National Committee, immigration-reform advocates held a rally outside the venue in hopes of bringing awareness to Latina women.
“This is supposed to be a convention for women, and there are no Latinas representing the undocumented community,” said Maura Pereira, a political organizer from North Carolina. “I hope they do notice that we’re all also women and Latinas living the struggle.”
