My Take
Cheri Honkala carries the weight of someone who has fought in the field, not just argued in theory. As an anti-poverty advocate, co-founder of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, and national coordinator of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, she has spent her life standing with people the system overlooks. Politician and lawyer are her labels, but what moves me is the single, consistent choice to speak for those who cannot easily speak for themselves. That takes uncommon resolve. She is also the mother of actor Mark Webber, yet her own life of conviction is, to me, the more compelling story.
