It is time for a change y'all. I'm tired of being tired, of being tired, of being tired.
00:06
I am sick of being tired. No matter where your zip code is, no matter what school you
00:11
sign up to, every single child deserves to have the same quality education.
00:16
Bye honey. Have a good day, okay? I will. I'll see you in a little while. See you in a little while.
00:25
Good morning. Good morning. Okay.
00:35
My work in Oakland really began when I realized that there were 5,000 primarily African American
00:42
mothers on the waiting list. I wasn't ready to stop working. I wasn't ready to give up
00:47
my housing, you know, but it was things that I had to do for the stability and security
00:54
of the child.
00:57
Are you a registered Alameda County voter? Yes. Would you sign a petition for the health
01:07
and child care initiative for Alameda County? Xavier, we overslept.

When we build from the grassroots up, when we include seniors, when we include monolingual
01:25
Spanish speakers, when we include everybody from the community to come and campaign and
01:30
fight for justice for our children, then that's how we win.
01:39
This work takes a toll on you. You know, I'd been having problems last week with migraines
01:45
and my body was hurting and I didn't know what was going on, but I missed my doctor's
01:50
appointment for a meeting.
01:53
This is an economic justice issue just as much as it is an educational issue. We have
01:59
to start talking about gender and racial justice and economic justice and connecting
02:03
these dots because we're going to roll these policies back.
02:08
No matter what happens, like I have to just, I have to keep going. So, and that's just
02:13
kind of my life.
02:14
Having watched families suffer for the last five years and then to finally be on the edge
02:21
of some justice for all of these moms.
