In the United States we have the highest number of incarcerations in the entire world. It's
unbelievable that this country has more jails than educational institutions. Something is failing in the
system and we need to change it, we can't sit back and watch. I believe it is our time to rise and stand
up for the future now.

White House launched a platform called Youth Summit 2012 for leaders to come together and have
dialogue on some of the nations biggest challenges. In June 4, 2012 I was invited and had the
opportunity to speak in behalf of my community in Arizona. I felt the responsibility to address issues
that were happening in the south west such as the need for the Dream Act ( Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), immigration policy, the importance of arts and non-profit sectors.
Hilda Solis whom was the Secretary of Labor at the time was speaking at White House Council
on Community Solutions. I felt honored when she recognized me as a student from Rio Hondo
College, and saluted me when she was speaking on stage at the White House Youth Summit.

He sido invitado a asistir Opportunity Nation (Oportunidad Nación 2015) en Washington DC febrero, 26 de 2015 con algunos de mis colegas de National Council of Young Leaders, (Consejo
Nacional de Jóvenes Líderes). El Vicepresidente Joe Bidden voluntad estar hablando junto a funcionarios electos: jueces, senadores, gobernadores y ejecutivos
de State Farm, Bank of America, Walmart y Starbucks. Voy a asistir a la conferencia
en representación del National Council of Young Leaders y participar en diferentes sesiones.
Busco hacia adelante en la atención "Superando Barreras: Justicia de Menores y el desempleo juvenil" sesión. En los Estados Unidos tenemos el mayor número
de encarcelamientos en el mundo entero. Es increíble que este país tiene más cárceles que las
instituciones educativas. Algo está fallando en el sistema y tenemos que cambiarlo, no puede sentarse y ver. Creo que es nuestra hora de levantarse y pararse
uno y mirar el futuro de nuestro pueblo ser destruido.
Esta conferencia y sesión es apropiado para el trabajo que estoy haciendo actualmente en Phoenix,
AZ. Yo Estoy trabajando con varias organizaciones como Cyphers, Cultural Arts Coalition, y
Release the Fear en mi ciudad. Estas organizaciones utilizan artes y me ayudarán a participar
con los jóvenes en las escuelas y que están encarcelados y están saliendo del sistema de justicia
juvenil. Uno de mis objetivos es ayudar a proporcionar vías alternativas y oportunidades para los
jóvenes. Hay 6.7 a los jóvenes que están desconectados de la educación y el trabajo de acuerdo a la
investigación que se hizo en 2012 y los números están aumentando. En el siguiente enlace se puede
ver el vídeo en el que el Casa Blanca lanzó una plataforma llamada Youth Summit 2012 (Cumbre
de la Juventud 2012) para que los líderes se reúnan y tener diálogo sobre algunas de las naciones más
grandes desafíos. En 04 de junio 2012 fui invitado y tuvo la oportunidad de hablar en nombre de
mi comunidad en Arizona. Sentí responsable para abordar las cuestiones que estaban ocurriendo
en el al sur oeste, como la necesidad de que el Dream Act (Desarrollo, Alivio y Educación para
Menores Extranjeros), la política de inmigración, la importancia de las artes y los sectores sin fines
de lucro. Hilda Solis quien fue el Secretario del Trabajo en el momento estaba hablando en el
White Consejo de la Casa de la Comunidad Soluciones. Me sentí honrado cuando me reconoció a
cabo la carga y saludé cuando era hablando en el escenario en la Cumbre de la Juventud de la Casa
Blanca.
