Student inspired by working women candidates

From a letter to Workers World Party candidates Monica Moorehead and Gloria La Riva.

As a future teacher I feel passionately about providing the best education we can to all students. I believe that a pay increase for teachers is one of the best ways to recruit new blood into the profession, giving teachers higher numbers.

Thank you for running for president. Thank you for being two women who call themselves workers and women of color. I feel that this campaign has the power to touch a lot of people, including myself, a Latina who will work for her living.

I have been inspired by the effort that you have taken. Thank you for being a voice for women of color and for women who work for a living. You have my support, and I hope that everyone involved understands how important they are. Best of luck!
