Latinos did it in 2012; let's do it again in 2013

from ya es hora

This year's election decision was decided by the Latino vote— which accounted for 10 percent of the total vote and contributed to victories in battleground states. On November 6, Latinos voted and were the difference in this year's election.

November 6 was just one step towards bettering our communities and our future. The next step is continued participation.

In 2013, many state and local elections will take place in cities like Los Angeles and states like New Jersey. The candidates we elect and decisions we mark on the ballot in these elections have huge impacts on our daily lives.

We need to encourage Latinos to keep the momentum and partake in all aspects of civic engagement to continue to shape our country – from turning out at the polls to participating in town halls and holding elected leaders accountable.

We’d like to hear from you and learn about what you have planned in 2013. Click here and take a short survey – only a minute long – about your plans in 2013.
