I came to the US at the end of 2000. I work mainly in construction. I am married and we have 4 children born here. I realized that things got harder for the immigrants, and that the community was gradually more affected. I realize I have to be involved before this crisis reached me or my family. I heard about GLAHR from a radio show, and I decided to get involved to stay informed. We can fight better when we are organized and in community, not only protecting ourselves, but also influencing the attitude against us, and proving them we are not ignorant, that we know our rights, and we are going to protect them.
