difficult for immigrants to get work)

(Ana after that called Emma and commented on her situation)

- Ana: Hi, Emma, how are you?

- Emma: Hi Ana, I’m fine and your
- Ana: I’m glad you’re okay, I’m not as happy as I would like because the rent man just told
me that if I don’t pay him tomorrow I’ll have to leave and I don’t know who wants to receive
me in his house then I don’t want to bother anyone either, was to see if you could lend me
100,000 pesos by tomorrow I’d appreciate it very much.
 - Emma: I would love to be able to help you by lending you the money, but you know that I
am not very well financially either, but I have an unoccupied room in my house I do not know
if you want to stay here while you get a stable and comfortable place to live, I wouldn’t mind
you being here.
- Ana: I don’t want to bother you, but I prefer that to staying in the street I really thank you
very much.
- Emma: don’t bother anyone, for me you would be good company since I live alone.
- ana: well thank you very much then tomorrow I’ll see you.
- Emma: OK tomorrow I’ll see you bye.

Act 2

Michel was in his office when his secretary tells him that Miss Rita, a civil rights advocate, is
in reception. , to which she replies to let her go

- ( door opens )
- Rita: Hello Doctor Michel as you are
- Michel: hello Rita I very well and your
- Rita : well doctor, look at my visit is because as we are in all this campaigns I would
like to know after they elect the new or new mayor who will make the new mayor of the Civil
Rights Defender
- Michel: Rita you will most likely stay until the following year in early February
- Rita: thank you for clarifying the doubt doctor, but well more than all my visit is
because it is not fulfilling the pattern that the mayor made with people of African descent and
the LGTBQ+ community, A few days ago my brother informed me that a mayor did not let
him enter my office for the simple fact of coming with painted nails and his friend who is of
Afro race.
- Michel: Rita, the only thing I can tell you is that I’ve tried a thousand times to make
this stop, but with all the new people who’ve come in for replacements and new jobs, it’s just
too hard to talk to everyone and try to avoid that, I promise I’ll meet with the entire mayor’s
office and officials to talk about that.
- Rita: Thank you very much, doctor, but I’d better start doing my part because I see
you’re so busy that you don’t have time to keep your promises, so you better save them and I
better go because I can interrupt you.

(Before the mayor wanted to say something, Rita left the office very furious that I knock very
hard the door)

Scene 2

Act 1

(After leaving the office very furious Rita went to the house of her brother James to propose
to him to create a march so that the world realizes that you have to leave the indifferences)

- james: who is it?

- Rita: it’s me, your sister

- (james opens the door)

- james: hi Rita, how are you

- Rita: ok james , but not as well as I would like

- james: I pass you why you say that

- RITA: What happens is that I have too much anger because I just came from the office of
Doctor Michel and I told him about what happened and the only thing he told me is that when
I have a space or this unemployed person talk to people so that this does not continue to
happen, I find it outrageous that there a foundation for the protection and defense of civil
rights and freedom of expression and is not fulfilling the role of this .

james: Yes sister but in this country everything is done and nothing changes I really do not
want to continue living here but it is what we have.

Rita : Well I am tired of this the best thing is that we do a march or demonstration in the park
to end this .

- rita: well then tomorrow I will return to finish organizing everything.
- james. ok see you tomorrow
