As you're reading this email, Voto Latino is actively registering voters online, John. Our work doesn't stop!

I wanted to reach out to give you an update on Voto Latino’s efforts to register and mobilize Latinx voters ahead of today’s primaries in Arizona, Florida, and Illinois. But first, let’s talk real quick about the ways we’re continuing to make a difference in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Voto Latino has always been a digital-first organization , working to meet young people where they’re at by registering voters online via computers and smartphones, running robust and engaging social media channels, as well as creating an email program that not only shares important election updates and information, but opportunities for people to take action, attend events, and hold their elected officials accountable.

Digital organizing is powerful, my friends! Just look at what we were able to achieve last weekend when we took an originally in-person GOTV event and turned it into a virtual text bank:

*
Nearly
70
volunteers
registered
to
volunteer
from
home;
*
30,000
text
messages
were
sent
to
Arizona
voters
by
volunteers;
*
Every
message
shared
the
VL
Lyft
code
to
give
people
free
rides
to
the
polls.

on
how
to
protect

and
others.
Per
the
CDC,
if
you
have
been
diagnosed
with
COVID-19
or
suspect
you
may
have
it,
you
should
not
use
ridesharing,
public
transportation,
or
taxis.

Our staff here at VL have gone completely remote as a means of protecting our health and others’, but we’re still doing some major GOTV efforts to answer voters’ questions about polling places, give them free Lyft rides to the polls, and share important updates in light of COVID-19 as we try to get voters to the primaries. Take a look at the numbers we’re putting up:

*
13,405

emails
sent
to
Florida
and
Arizona;
*
14,830
emails

*

*
