College freshman Cassidy Recio Brenes is excited to vote for the first time. Like, really excited. “I never shut up about it,” she told us. Her top concern: The overturning of Roe v. Wade and the future of women’s reproductive rights. “I came to this country thinking I had a second opportunity,” Cassidy, who is Costa Rican-American, said. “And just in a second, the dream was over, because now they’re taking one of my most essential rights away.”
