You can’t just say (politicians) aren’t going to do anything. We have to do something. And once we get them in there, we have to make sure they do what they say. If they see strength in numbers, they will do what we need them to do. Remember, we are the union.

Pepper Long, Harbor City

 We help. We phonebank. We walk, craw, do anything we have to because we want to improve our community. It doesn’t matter what district we work in. We are all brothers and sisters. We are the Union. We are fighting for the same things.
