Este reconocimiento es el m\u00e1s significativo para m\u00ed porque proviene de mi comunidad y honra a mi querido amigo Sergio Mendoza.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El liderazgo de Sergio es el tipo al que todos deber\u00edamos aspirar. Nunca lo hizo por t\u00edtulos, premios o reconocimientos. Lider\u00f3 con coraz\u00f3n y por amor a su comunidad. Luch\u00f3 incansablemente para desmantelar barreras sist\u00e9micas y abrir puertas a otros, asegur\u00e1ndose de que todos tuvieran las herramientas necesarias para prosperar. Servir a su lado no fue solo un honor, sino un regalo: la oportunidad de presenciar a un l\u00edder desinteresado y emp\u00e1tico que lo dio todo para mejorar su comunidad.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"holaa-209822298\" class=\"holaa-ad-inside-articles holaa-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/actionnetwork.org\/forms\/sign-up-for-progress-iowas-high-five\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"H5 Spanish 300 x 250 Progress Iowa\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/H5-Spanish-300-x-250-Progress-Iowa.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><br style=\"clear: both; display: block; float: none;\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Por eso ser la primera receptora del Premio Defensor del A\u00f1o Sergio Mendoza me conmueve tan profundamente.

Durante m\u00e1s de 600 a\u00f1os, nuestra gente ha resistido la opresi\u00f3n. Hemos luchado por nuestra existencia, y todav\u00eda estamos luchando.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En este momento, hay una ni\u00f1a y un ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1os, escondidos, escribiendo en sus diarios, esperando que el mundo los vea. Esperando que alguien los defienda. Ese alguien somos nosotros.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As\u00ed que les pregunto:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuando sus nietos miren atr\u00e1s a este
