Unidos We Vote

This year’s elections are critical and too much is at stake. We are up against candidates that refuse to see our humanity, the rich that continue to exploit our frontline workers, we are up against an education system that invalidates our students, and we are up against developers that continue to push our communities out of their homes. But, this does not need to be our realities.
This year we have an opportunity to win Ethnic Studies, Driver’s License, Frontline worker pay, Immigration reform, and so much more, but that will only happen if we are clear and grounded in our power. Join us on June 15th as we launch our Unidos We Vote program.
