Ella dice que se inspir\u00f3 para unirse despu\u00e9s de escuchar el testimonio de otra madre de COFI, Rosazlia Grillier. Ella y otras madres realizaron encuestas de puerta en puerta en East St. Louis y descubrieron que la necesidad de vecindarios m\u00e1s seguros y transporte a la escuela y al preescolar eran problemas importantes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSer parte de COFI me ense\u00f1\u00f3 que tengo una voz\u201d, dice ella. \u201cTambi\u00e9n descubr\u00ed que hay otros padres que defienden lo mismo: seguridad para nuestros hijos\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Lettie, que pas\u00f3 gran parte de su infancia en varios hogares de acogida, ha ayudado a liderar los esfuerzos en dos escuelas de la comunidad, el Centro de Primera Infancia Vivian Adams y la Escuela Primaria Dunbar. Ambos lugares padec\u00edan entornos inseguros para los ni\u00f1os, con factores como estacionamiento limitado y estudiantes que ten\u00edan que caminar por parques vac\u00edos y callejones abandonados para llegar a la escuela. Junto a sus compa\u00f1eros padres, Lettie hizo mucho ruido y la gente respondi\u00f3. Ganaron un nuevo guardia de cruce y lugares de estacionamiento en el centro de primera infancia.<\/p>\n<p>Parents United for Change contin\u00faa abogando por la seguridad en East St. Louis. En 2018, celebraron una gran victoria: el Proyecto de Ley 5195 de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes, que brinda transporte a los estudiantes que viven cerca de sus escuelas pero cuyo viaje a la escuela es a trav\u00e9s de un &quot;\u00e1rea peligrosa&quot;. Mire este video hecho por Education Week (\u00a1con Lettie y su adorable hija!) sobre la victoria:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Luchando por los autobuses escolares en una de las ciudades m\u00e1s peligrosas del pa\u00eds\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I5IatrBN3mA?feature=oembed\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Lettie, ahora una de las co-vicepresidentas de POWER-PAC IL y la <em>Campa\u00f1a Salud, Alimentaci\u00f3n y Recreo <\/em>Copresidente, no tiene planes de reducir la velocidad.
