For several decades, she has been active with movements, advocating for racial, gender, and social justice, and the decolonization of Puerto Rico. She has founded several organizations dedicated to youth media education. As the founding director of Red Sugarcane Press, Morales brings her love of community and history to produce books about the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and people of color in the Americas. Her anthologies include Voices from Puerto Rico: Post-Hurricane María. It was inspired by her trip to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria when she helped launch a fund to bring resources and financial support to grassroots communities. The bilingual collection of writings from activists and artists focuses on local organizing efforts. Latinas: Struggles & Protests in 21st Century USA is a collection of poetry and prose reflecting on women's lived experiences in the United States.

It continues to be screened in classrooms and community venues across the United States and the Caribbean.
