Hi John,
This Hispanic Heritage Month, we are setting the record straight. Today, more than 36 million Latino eligible voters represent a rising force in our democracy — and in less than two months, 8.8 million young Latinos will have the chance to decide who leads their communities.
Too often, their impact is overlooked or dismissed. That’s why today, we are busting the myths that try to diminish Latino voter power.
Myth 1: Latino voters don’t turn out.
✅ In 2024, 40% of young Latino voters cast their ballot for the first time — the highest rate of any group.
Myth 2: Latino votes don’t make a difference.
✅ In states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, Latino voters will decide local leaders who set policies on jobs, schools, housing, and immigrant rights. In fact, Latinos are the fastest-growing population in North Carolina, and one out of every 10 young voters in Pennsylvania is Latino.
Myth 3: The attacks on voting rights don’t impact Latino voters.
✅ Young Latino voters continue to face barriers to fully participating in our democracy — from complicated voter registration systems to limited outreach. In fact, 43% report that people in their communities fear arrest by immigration authorities regardless of citizenship status, and 66% say they worry about the rule of law and the future of our democracy.
John, Latino voters have power. The issues that young Brown voters care about — the economy and jobs, immigration, abortion, health care, and more — are on local and state ballots in 2025.
