"Once You Know, You Can't Stop": Victoria Cervantes' Lifelong Commitment to Social Justice.
In this episode of Metropolis Rising, our guest is Victoria Cervantes. Vicki is a lifelong activist who first became politicized in high school in the mid-to-late-1960s during the social upheaval of the Vietnam era's civil rights and anti-war movements. Vicki has been a community and labor activist for decades in Chicago's Mexican community, where she has raised her family. After the military coup in Honduras in June 2009, Vicki helped to found the Honduras Solidarity Network and serves as the network's North American coordinator. She has traveled regularly to Honduras, where she spends time in the campesino and indigenous communities and the broader resistance movement, and works as a human rights observer.
