A Quote by Erin Brockovich

Latino actors and actresses have had to struggle for decades, but when I came around with Real Women Have Curves, attitudes were starting to change.

I think we have to really focus on the issues much more than we may have in the past. I think we have to seek to create coalitional strategies that go beyond racial lines. We need to bring black communities, Chicano communities, Puerto Rican communities, Asian American communities together.
We need to do a better job of working, again, with the communities, faith communities, business communities, as well as the police to try to deal with this problem.

We should not be living in human communities that enclose tiny preserved ecosystems within them.

My own view - and I'm very open to hearing other perspectives - is that this movement-building needs to begin at home, in local communities. It isn't about trying to launch a brand new national party overnight.

What would that look like? What do we want to do right here in our communities?"
