Jose Antonio Vargas Wants Your Voice In Representing 'The New American Majority'

"I personally am tired of people speaking for me, about me, who are not me."

Jose Antonio Vargas, a filmmaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who publicly came out as an undocumented immigrant  in 2011, has a message about the shifting demographics of the United States: "The people who we think are the minority [are] actually now the new majority." In the video above, watch Vargas explain why we need to take control of our own narratives and "tell our stories" as people of all different races, sexualities and religions to ensure others stop speaking for us.
