Upon his return, he embarked upon a political campaign as a leader in M.E.C.H.A., a member of the Brown Beret organization, and as an organizer of the Raza Unida Political Party. Understanding the injustices that surrounded him, Stephen decided to attain a law degree, which he used to help communities for close to three decades.
