“R2L gives under-resourced communities like Latino a chance to fully comprehend the function of the government that serves them and gives them hope for a better future. My participation has made me realize the extent of influence Hispanics have in politics; however, it has also shown me the inefficiencies and pitfalls of our government, and how our communities cannot make as much of a difference as they’d like.”
