Robby Rodriguez: "So we have this great mission that’s about empowering people and realizing racial and gender equality and social and economic justice. And it sounds good and it feels good and we’ve always done work toward that mission. Now there’s a little bit more thinking that we have an opportunity to build power, to actually implement that in systemic ways throughout the state. So I think that changes sort of the internal psychology or behavior of the organization. […] You know, being able to raise more money, to hire more staff, to recruit more members and volunteers – it’s exciting. It’s an exciting thing for the organization."
