Welcome to our blog where we share stories of amazing individuals like Lidia Martinez, a dedicated LULAC member for over 35 years. Lidia is passionate about expanding voter registration among seniors and veterans in South Texas, as reported by CBS News.
Recently, Lidia found herself at the center of controversy when Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton raided her San Antonio home. At 87 years old, Lidia was confronted by a team of officers in tactical gear, which left her feeling scared and vulnerable. Despite the intimidation tactics, Lidia remains steadfast in her commitment to her community.
During the raid, officers seized her belongings, including her phone, computer, and voter registration materials. This incident has only strengthened Lidia’s resolve to continue her work with LULAC and empower those around her.
As Lidia bravely navigates this challenging time, LULAC leaders have called for a federal investigation into these searches, citing political motives behind the timing of the raids. Lidia’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity.
At the heart of it all, Lidia Martinez is a shining example of resilience and determination. As she continues to fight for justice and equality, we stand in solidarity with her and all those who refuse to be silenced.
