John ,

We wanted to make sure you saw this just-published analysis from Voto Latino President and CEO María Teresa Kumar in the Miami Herald.

Could anti-immigration law backfire on DeSantis and turn Florida blue again? [link removed]

In the piece, María Teresa recalls how California was a reliably red state 30 years ago, and how that all changed with the anti-Latino and anti-immigration Proposition 187:

“The policy aim of Proposition 187 barred undocumented immigrants from receiving government services, but its practical impact was that Latino Americans all across California became profiled, harassed and abused. Latinos felt less safe in their own communities and deeply disrespected by the Republican Party.”

With Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signing the similarly anti-immigrant SB 1718 into law as he eyes a run for the presidency, this could be the beginning of a swing away from the GOP:

“The lesson is simple and timeless: All politics is local. If you are a Latino voter who gets stopped in your own neighborhood and asked for papers, you become a motivated voter. And Republican extremism is about to mobilize a new generation of Latino voters across the state.”

Here's our plan to stop MAGA Republicans like Ron DeSantis.

More than 4 million young Latinos across the country will reach voting age by the next election, and many of these potential voters live in critical battleground states like Florida. If we can get these young people registered to vote and mobilize them to cast a ballot, then we have a strong chance of turning Florida blue.

But it’s going to take serious resources to get this done. It costs about $24 to register and mobilize a single voter. Multiply that by millions of eligible young Latinos, and that adds up to a lot of funds we need to raise.

Will you chip in today to help us reach as many new voters as possible? --> [link removed]
