You know what would be better? If her male Tennis peers paid it as an act of solidarity and an acknowledgement of the double standard they benefit from. Can we get some male allies up in here?

Latinas were one of our big bets this election cycle and they exceeded expectations!
After 10 years of fighting against anti immigrant measures, Latinos showed up strong in Arizona powered by a SURGE in working class Latinas.

for speaking truth and saying what needs to be said. Latinos are virtually invisible on screen and behind the camera but we have meaningful and valuable contributions to make to the cultural narrative. We deserve visibility & opportunity.

is showing us the real faces of the caravan. Please have the courage to see the truth and not believe the lies DT is spewing to rile up fear and hate.
After 18 hrs of travel, I have finally made it to Mexico and have connected with the caravan. I cannot even process yet what I have seen. So many kids. So many babies. So many mothers. Desperately seeking a better life and fleeing a lifetime of violence.
Pls share their stories.
