“Estamos haciendo campaña en áreas rurales, donde es mucho más difícil llegar a la gente: tanta extensión, sin WiFi, luchando contra el clima”, dice Tomas Evangelista, fundador de Evangelista Community Relations. “Pero tener esa interacción cara a cara, una persona que te da información, es muy diferente a ver un anuncio”.


Los residentes rurales de California a menudo sienten que lo que pagan de impuestos es dinero que sale pero no regresa, por lo que el grupo de Evangelista explica que un recuento preciso del Censo cambia eso. “El dinero se asigna [basado en] esos datos”, dice. “Significa más subvenciones y más préstamos para la región”.


Evangelista también anima a los inmigrantes a participar. “Soy un beneficiario de DACA. En 2010 estaba en la universidad, tenía el Censo frente a mí y tenía miedo de completarlo”, dice. “Pero ahora veo que debería estar feliz de ser incluido en cualquier conteo”.

EARNING THE VOTE OF LATINA WOMEN Anyone who wants to lead in California must do so with the support of Latina voters. California’s independent redistricting commission adopted final congressional and legislative districts for the next decade, starting with the 2022 mid-term elections. When you read about a Latino-majority district in California—think Latina power. Latina voters consistently outperform their Latino male counterparts in voting: 22 of the 80 new state Assembly districts are Latino-majority with Latina power voting blocs; 10 of the 40 state Senate districts are Latino-majority with Latina power voting blocs; 16 of 52 total congressional districts in California are Latino-majority with Latina power voting blocs. The articles below highlight the ever-growing Latina base of voters who are personally experiencing a housing crisis that is pushing their families out of their homes, and the climate change crisis in the form of toxic drinking water and pervasive health issues resulting from wildfires, drought and pesticide use near our homes. It is time to invest in the Central Valley and in the Coachella Valley beyond the usual election cycle or tit-for-tat politics. It is beyond time that the pathway towards California’s future centers on the priorities of Latina women and women as a whole because we are the spark leading the ways towards a better future—LÚCETE!
