We need to organize for a historic mobilization of voters in November. Through #FueraTrump, we will make sure that the issues that are relevant to us remain at the forefront of the agenda. A few examples are: access to universal healthcare, $15 minimum wage, the legalization of 11 million undocumented immigrants, an end to deportations and the criminalization of migration, and the Green New Deal. We’re working tirelessly to engage Latinos across the country to organize and vote for a better future for our community, for ourselves, and for our children.
We - Mijente - are powering the Fuera Trump campaign and leading the way for the Latinx progressive movement. As a digital, and grassroots hub for Latinx and Chicanx, we’re committed to doing whatever it takes to make our gente thrive.
We helped unseat one of the most racist sheriffs in the country with our campaign against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio in 2016. After that, we endorsed and ran a campaign to elect Georgia’s Stacey Abrams for governor. Our work in Georgia increased the Latino vote by 300% in 2018. We have a long history of grassroots organizing and movement building outside of the electoral sector and are nationally recognized leaders in the immigrant rights movement.
