Alejandra Gonzalez the Voces leader of Youth Empowered in the Struggle (YES) shares the struggles that immigrant communities face during this politically unstable time while recognizing the resilience of youth who are claiming power and using their voice.
Alejandra writes, "I remember being gripped by fear as a child, but the world has changed. Like so many, I am an undocumented immigrant and unafraid. Though we cannot vote, we are influencing thousands of like-minded, first...-time voters to cast their ballots against hate.
In Wisconsin, we’ve seen that strong voter turnout can change the course of an election. We are well aware of the pivotal role Milwaukee plays in deciding who carries the state. As November 3rd approaches, we are poised to do just that. We must. The lives of so many depend on it."
Make your plan to vote TODAY. Lives and futures depend on it.
Check out this documentary Voces was recently featured in! It highlights what’s at stake in this election and how Voces had been steadfast organizing for immigrant and workers’ rights.
Immigrants are essential to Wisconsin’s economy and livelihood. Immigrants are essential, period. The next administration must center the needs of ALL of us, regardless of immigration status.
