How a group of moms turned a Virginia trailer park into a village
That backyard is where the women learned from a health-care worker what medical services their children are entitled to receive.
Poverty often takes from people. It snatches. It steals. It can leave people with empty bellies, low self-esteem and a lost sense of security. Moreno first learned about the women when one of them, Ana Delia Romero, called to ask whether she could come speak to them about health care. Moreno went to that backyard, and then she went again.
She also wanted to make sure none of her neighbors was going hungry during the pandemic. She got involved with free food-distribution efforts and started knocking on her neighbors’ doors to ask whether they had enough to eat. Soon she realized the need was great enough that it would be easier if the food came to her community.
“When Ana asked, ‘Who wants to volunteer?’ the answer was ‘Me, me, me,’ ” Elizabeth Villatoro said. “This community doesn’t have excuses. Ana doesn’t say, ‘I lost my vision, I can’t do anything.’ Alberta doesn’t say, ‘I have children with special needs, I can’t do anything.’ We do what we need to do.”

How a New Class of Republicans Could Push America to the RightMuch of the attention paid to Donald Trump’s favorite candidates running in the midterms has focused — rightly! — on their support for relitigating the 2020 election. (Which, for those still unsure, was not stolen.) But across a range of policy issues, including abortion, climate change, same-sex marriage and education, Trump’s MAGA warriors have taken positions that put them on the fringes of the Republican Party — let alone the nation as a whole. The usual caveats apply: Candidates often say t
