Amid concerns that Hispanics are less likely to vote in November, activist groups are working to push every voter to the polls.
Calling for Latinos to “vote for respect,”grassroots groups announced a project to vote for officials supporting immigrants, saying that Hispanic turnout could be key during the midterm elections.
Groups like the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Mi Familia Vota and Voto Latino have planed public service announcements, voter hotlines and telling voters one by one what matters in the midterms.
“We can’t afford to sit this one out,” said Rafael Collazo, national deputy director for Democracia U.S.A.
