I’m Raimundo “Rai” Rojas—Cuban by birth, American by choice. I arrived in the United States at age seven with a suitcase full of hope, a family who risked everything, and the kind of English vocabulary that consisted mostly of “yes,” “no,” and “baseball.”

​

I work at the intersection of policy and principle, representing the pro-life cause at the United Nations and the Organization of American States. My days are spent in conference rooms where translators keep up with rapid-fire diplomacy, and my nights are often spent wondering how they manage it.

​

I believe in life from conception to natural death, in freedom as something you defend daily, and in the idea that government exists to serve people, not the other way around. I also believe Cuban coffee counts as a food group.

​

This blog is where I write about the things that matter—life, liberty, human dignity, and occasionally why bad policy is like bad baseball: you can see the error coming, but you still cringe when it happens.

 

Welcome. Let’s think clearly, speak plainly, and defend what’s worth defending.
