Piyali (meaning “hello” in Nahuatl) familia,

Wow. We did it. We really did. The Freedom Walks in Texas have left a very big sounding message – WE CONTINUE TO WALK AND VOTE. Together, we started a movement in our communities with LULAC that only continues to grow from now on. Guess who is leading this charge? The youth and young members of LULAC alongside our lifelong members!

Will you join us, will you lead your own solidarity walk?

Now more than ever we need to stand together and lead with purpose. Our vote matters in every election and we do not have to wait until 2020 to mobilize our communities. Read the toolkit, download materials, register your walk, and let’s join the movement of #WeWalkWeVote in current and future elections. Most movements have been led and carried by youth and young adults. Can LULAC count on you to join us?

For more information visit www.freedomwalks.org or send your inquiries to [email protected]

About Freedom Walks for Justice
The Freedom Walks for Justice is a national campaign being led by LULAC. Following the example by the Freedom Riders, LULAC is organizing local and national leaders to walk in unity across 14 different cities in eight states across the U.S. and the District of Columbia from October 15 - November 4, 2019. The Freedom Walk campaign includes marches, rallies and community events, aimed at mobilizing communities across the country to register to vote and vote in 2020. The first Freedom Walks will start on the U.S.-Mexico border city of Brownsville, Texas, and Corpus Christi, Texas, LULAC’s birthplace in 1929, and end in Washington, D.C. on November 4, 2019 - a little less than a year out of Election Day 2020.
