This election season, commentator Ana Hebra Flaster has been volunteering for a gubernatorial candidate in Massachusetts, where she lives.
Participating in the political process isn’t something Flaster is always comfortable with — her first exposure to politics came when she was a little girl, growing up in Castro’s Cuba.
Now, Flaster sees three generations of political activism in her family: her father’s reluctant participation in anti-capitalist rallies; her own tentative forays into demonstrations in Massachusetts; and her daughter’s growing interest in a gubernatorial candidate this year.
