Texas Representative Linda Garcia has been fighting for our community, both within her state and all over the country. She was one of the brave representatives who fled and basically initiated a strike because of an impending vote to enact racist gerrymandering plans in the state of Texas. In doing so, she and her team were able to buy themselves some time and raise awareness about what's happening in local and federal governments. Our dear friend Linda Garcia has called us to action and told us exactly what we can do to help.
Representative Linda Garcia has 17 years of experience in the TV and film industry, helping to build programming for the U.S. Hispanic market at Azteca, Netflix, and Lionsgate. She founded In Luz We Trust, a company dedicated to restructuring negative generational money beliefs to create a positive experience through investing. She recently engaged in a deal with Wells Fargo and People's Self-Help Housing to educate USDA farmworker households for a financial literacy program. Rep. Garcia is a published author of the book Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps for Communities of Color to Conquer the Stock Market. Wealth Warrior received a bronze medal for Best Self-Transformation Book and a silver medal for Best Business. Rep. Garcia's work has been featured on Yahoo Finance, Univision, People En Español, Bloomberg, CNBC, Dallas Morning News, Chicago Tribune, Forbes, Parents Latina, and was a contributor to Time's Next Advisor. Rep. Garcia's achievements have earned her recognition from Latino Leaders Magazine and the City of Los Angeles. She also hosts a weekly podcast, Investies, where she makes complex economic topics accessible and actionable for a broad audience.
In this week's episode, Representative Linda Garcia shares her experience fighting back against the current administration as well as what we can do to help. She explains what gerrymandering is, how it would immediately affect our communities at the local and federal level, and actions you can take to fight back against these attacks on our communities. Now is the time to get involved. We can do this, together.
