Give her your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses...
Then watch what happens.
To some, the words at Ellis Island
are just words. But to New
York City Council Member Margarita Lopez, they're a mission statement.
Her personal call to action. And act she has: she's saved neighborhood
health and family planning clinics, found homes for the homeless, inspired
outreach programs for the mentally ill, and helped secure credit for lower
income families. Wherever there is injustice or inequality, you can
be sure that Margarita Lopez, like us, will be there. And like us,
always making a difference.
