"I’ve received calls in the middle of the night making threats to me, my family members, my children," said Francesca Albanese. "I won’t let myself be paralyzed because of these mafia-style techniques. ...I come from a place that taught me that the mafia kills through silence. It kills when people don’t react to it. This is why I’m so motivated in what I’m doing. I will continue to speak until I have no more air in my lungs."
