Trump has long demonized Latinos and immigrants, and now when our country is being sustained by the work of our community, by ordering these meatpacking plants open, he is placing them at further risk. The truth is many of these workers in the meatpacking industry serve our country with pride and distinction. 

Late on Monday night, President Trump tweeted that he will temporarily suspend all immigration to the United States in an effort to distract voters from his failure of a CoronaVirus response. Mi Familia Vota CEO and Executive Director released a statement in response.

Mi Familia Vota is addressing the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on-field operations including 2020 Census, voter registration, voter education,  GOTV, and citizenship. In the midst of a worldwide pandemic, the safety of our field organizers and staff comes first. We fully acknowledge that this outbreak will have a large impact on our field operations.

Mi Familia Vota is moving forward with our vision for 2020, we are empowering civic participation in our elections; we are educating and fighting for full participation in the Census. We are working to ensure that the Latino community is properly counted and adequately represented.

Mi Familia Vota was disappointed when issues like Puerto Rico, Latino representation, and comprehensive immigration reform were barely mentioned during last night's Democratic debate -- in a state where the Latino vote is decisive. In our town hall conversation with Senator Elizabeth Warren, we heard specific commitments missing in the Debate.

Mi Familia Vota and the Nevada Hispanic Legislative Caucus are proud to bring business owners, the Latin community, the youth and undecided voters together for a mock caucus training in Spanish ahead of the 2020 Nevada Primary. For the first time ever legislators and Mi Familia Vota are hosting a town hall to provide candidates the opportunity to address the Latino community in Las Vegas ahead of our Nevada Caucus Primary on February 22nd. 

Mi Familia Vota, a national Latino civic engagement organization, is excited to announce the latest in our Prioridades 2020 accountability campaign conversations with Presidential Candidate Elizabeth Warren.

The lies that President Trump spewed during his State of the Union Speech are nearly impossible to comprehend. Mi Familia Vota knows that on some of the top priorities for the Latino community like health care, the economy and immigration, the President’s administration has been a catastrophic failure for our community.

Today Mi Familia Vota releases the next conversation in our Prioridades2020 ( 2020 Priorities ) accountability campaign, where we discuss Latino Priorities with 2020 Presidential Candidates.  During our interview with Mayor Pete Buttigieg, we heard specific commitments and some disagreements. We had a particularly tough conversation about the diversity of his campaign and his police department.

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 to allow the Trump administration’s discriminatory public charge rule to go into effect. Following the ruling, Mi Familia Vota issued a statement from Hector Sanchez, Executive Director and CEO of Mi Familia Vota.

California Governor Newsom includes undocumented seniors/elders in the $222.2 billion state proposed budget which includes an expansion of full-scope Medi-Cal. Governor Newsom shows us once again that he is willing to support and recognize the contributions of our immigrants in California.

Mi Familia Vota is excited to announce the latest in our Prioridades 2020 (Priorities 2020) accountability campaign events with Presidential Candidate Joe Biden. With this campaign, we are holding all the presidential candidates accountable, and we are excited to host Vice President Biden at this community event to discuss and have clarity about the priorities of our communities.
