We understood the power of mobilization and believed it necessary for our collective survival... The information ministry skillfully communicated our message through the Palante newspaper and pamphlets; a weekly radio show on WBAI, the New York Pacific radio station, and press conferences. We joined many artists, poets, and. musicians to create revolutionary political culture. We collaborated with other Puerto Rican activists in the Movement Pro Independence, El Comite, and the Puerto Rican Student Union, among others, and with people of color organizations, most closely with the Black Panther Party, I Wor Kuen, the Third World Women’s Alliance, as well as white progressives... We woke up each day to serve the people and went to sleep analyzing what we had accomplished, and at night we dreamt about the new society that we would create, convinced that the richest country on the globe had the resources needed to sustain a better world for everyone.
— Iris Morales, Former Deputy Minister of Education, Young Lords Party (YLP)
