Friend.

Meet Ofelia Alonso, the director of Texas Rising. As a Latina leader, Ofelia
has a unique perspective on the challenges and barriers her community faces
when it comes to voting.

Young Latino voters are the second-fastest-growing voting demographic in the
country. In Texas alone, 6.5 million young Latino voters are eligible to vote
for the first time in this election cycle. Ofelia and Texas Rising are
mobilizing those voters, encouraging them to vote and do the relational
organizing that can activate whole families and communities to create a culture
of voting.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, I spoke with Ofelia about the power
of the Latino vote and the unique barriers to the ballot booth Latinos face —
especially young Latino voters in Texas.

Voters in Texas face several barriers to voting, including strict voter ID
laws. That’s where VoteRiders comes in.VoteRiders works with Texas Rising and
thousands of other organizations to provide free and up-to-date information
about voter ID for voters who are confused by these complicated laws.

“We see that across the state, people of color and Latinos have a hard time
acquiring state-issued identification due to lack of time, transportation,
language-appropriate resources, and financial ability,” Ofelia told me. “We
value that VoteRiders is a resource that we have in the state because it's very
much needed. Our collaboration is strong, year-round, and very present in the
work that we do.”

Young Latinos in Texas have immense collective power. Texas Rising and
VoteRiders are working together to ensure those voices can be heard in our
democracy!

P.S. VoteRiders always covers the fees and transportation costs associated
with getting a voter ID, because we believe cost should never be a barrier to
voting.All gifts are currently being matched, which means we can help twice as
many voters in battleground states like Texas!
