America Ferrera: Latino Votes Being Marginalized

Actress America Ferrera, joins Voto Latino on the "America4America" campaign, in the urge to announce the role of Latino voters.

By Gabriella Landeros

During a press conference with Voto Latino and the “America4America” campaign, Actress America Ferrera outlined a mission to promote the role of Latino voters.

Ferrera states, “I’ve been on the ground in Alabama and in Arizona, where laws are pushing our communities into  the shadows. Campaigns are marginalizing us, leading many Americans feeling demoralized and defeated, and ‘America4America’ is a campaign to empower every single American voter, with a truth about their own goal in our democracy. That’s a role that is a right, that is invaluable, and it is a right that I’m fighting to protect and to promote, and to make absolutely clear that it belongs to each and every one of us.”
