”The strength of our democracy is our vote.”

We discuss why American democracy should not treat the Latinx community as a monolith, what actually matters to this community, and how the strength of their engagement in U.S. democracy will play out in this year’s presidential election.

Maria Teresa Kumar is the President and CEO of Voto Latino, a civic engagement organization focused on educating and empowering a new generation of Latinx voters, as well as creating a more robust and inclusive democracy.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Maria Teresa are:

1. VOTE!

2. Share your excitement to vote with everyone you know, especially young people.
