My sense is that this movement, or whatever it is, is building, and it's trying different things.

To have a long term political influence the leaders of this movement need to translate the anger and hope that people are expressing in the streets into a concrete set of proposals for change.

I think it is the beginning of something. You have the foundation for a new kind of Hispanic politics.

The argument that this is going to lead to some immediate gain in electoral power, I think, is vastly overstated.

There was an increase in 1994 in Latino voting.

It has the potential to be a foundation for expanded voter turnout and other forms of civic activism but that will require more than just a single weekend or a single week of activism.
