Alex warmly and humorously writes of these experiences and of the family's several cross country moves in his efforts to bring about positive change for Latinos.. His community activism includes serving on various non-profit boards, assisting in organizing the United Farm Workers, and the various challenges involved while directing the Anti-Poverty program in the Mission District of San Francisco. Alex began as a "bird dog" during a voter registration drive in his hometown of Salinas, California. Serving as Deputy Director of NCLR, a national Latino advocacy organization in Washington D.C., reinforced the idea of communities united can make a difference. Alex Zermeno's memoirs describe a community activist seeking civil rights and empowerment for Latino communities during the mid 1950s to early 2000s
