LCLAA Launches Unprecedented National Latino Voter Education Campaign
Source: NH Labor News
Today, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) launched a national campaign aimed at educating Latinos on the importance on voting. The campaign, which will begin one year ahead of the general elections, will be initially implemented in the key states of Florida, Colorado, and Texas.
Latinos, the fastest growing voter block, had a decisive role in the last presidential election and will have an even more important presence in 2016.
For workers like Christian Hurtado, Latino voters need to express their voice to advocate for the issues that are important for Latino working families.
“I know firsthand how important it is to advocate for our community. My father died at his job from a fatal fall. He couldn’t ask for more safety precautions or trainings because he was undocumented and voiceless,” said Christian Hurtado. “Accidents like my fathers are preventable if we collectively harness our political and economic power. Voting is the vehicle that can help Latinos gain that power to change our outlook in this country.”
