John,
In 2020, for the first time in history, Latinx voters became the second-largest voting bloc in the United States.
We want to show you exactly how our communities influenced the last election, but if you’re pressed for time, will you consider chipping in to our voter registration work in swing states like Arizona and Nevada?

The Latino Vote in 2020
- 16.6 million Latinos voted (that’s a 31% increase from the 2016 presidential election).
- In comparison, that’s 15 percentage points higher than the increase among all voters in the record-breaking 2020 election.
- In swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, young Latinx (18-29) voters made up the largest bloc of Latinx voters.
|
This tells us three important things about the state of voting in Latinx communities:
- The events leading up to the 2020 election drove Latinx voters into action, especially young Latinos.
- It was these young people’s votes that flipped many states from red to blue. Latino voting power will only continue to grow in the years to come.
However, 2020 was a historic race, and voter excitement about the 2022 midterms has dropped significantly.
In fact, only 63% of Latinos who voted in 2020 said they intended to vote in November, and even worse, only 51% of those same voters between ages 18-29 planned to vote this year.
But we don’t have to tell you that this election cycle is essential to preserving our rights, and getting people to the polls is VITAL to protecting reproductive freedoms, LGBTQIA+ rights, and even the right to vote itself.
John, will you contribute today to our voter mobilization efforts?
