In this new episode of El Cafecito del Día, we share a conversation with Ely Bahena, a LCLAA Trabajadoras Fellow, Community advocate, justice-driven young leader from La Villita, and chief of staff for the 22nd Ward in Chicago. We confront a harsh reality on how immigration policies are reshaping childhood - and how courage, resilience, and collective power are pushing back. This is more than a conversation. It is a call to stand strong with the next generation of justice leaders. </p>

We discuss with Cheryl Nero, consulting for the Task Force for American Democracy, why knowing the Constitution is vital, how it empowers us to defend democracy, and what unions, allies, and communities can do to ensure everyone understands this document and exercises their rights. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this cafecito, we discuss the historic independent union win that happened this past February in Silao Guanajuato, Mexico. 6400 workers at a General Motors plant voted to be represented by SINTTIA, an Independent Union of Auto Industry Workers. This episode includes an interview with the organizations’ secretary general, Alejandra Morales Reynoso. Our conversation was conducted in her native language, Spanish – but at the end, I provide a summary of our conversation in English. The collective sheds light on previous leadership and how their failure led to the historic nomination of a new union representative, SINITTA. </p>

This student-led organization aims to create a more inclusive environment for undocumented immigrants through education and advocacy.</p>

Our conversation was conducted in his native language, Spanish -- but at the end, I provide a summary of our conversation in English. The collective was created after Jose Manuel Matias, a rideshare food delivery driver, was run over by a truck while on the job. The collective, created 4 years ago, has been working towards better working conditions and protections for rideshare workers. </p>
