"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust."
Thomas Aquinas  (1225-1274)

 I invite you to hear a former proud member of the League of Women Voters of New Mexico share her immigrant experience and message. I think about the myriad talents of Dreamers we are wasting while Congress fails to pass any version of the Dream Act yet again-10 years and counting. 

Please watch Cindy Nava deliver the keynote address at the UNM commencement and learn from her remarkable, inspirational journey as a former undocumented student moving through volunteering and leadership experiences as a former DACA to her current Presidential appointment as a senior policy advisor to HUD. Segment runs from 51 minutes to 1:21 in the YouTube streaming link below. 
As her former teacher and mentor at Santa Fe Community College and her friend and colleague, I believe that you will find her half-hour speech well worth your time.   Cindy developed the courage to overcome fear and prejudice and self-doubts to become a positive interrupter and respected role model and public servant.
