Amid turbulent times marked by instances of violence and racist rhetoric, Ignacio Acevedo sees positive change occurring.
Acevedo, the lead organizer with Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson, a Poughkeepsie organization that advocates for working-class people of color, said the Hudson Valley is experiencing a surge in activism among its minority groups.
"After living here for 27 years, I don't think I've ever seen people of my community speaking up like this before," he said.
