Maria Teresa Kumar on Voto Latino & The Power of the Latino Vote

We start today’s episode reflecting on how we are feeling after the murder of a father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, by ICE. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a hard-working family man who wanted nothing else in life but to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people, as his son Ronaldo Salgado shared in a heartbreaking video. We reflect on this moment and what it calls us to do. Next, we welcome Maria Teresa Kumar, President and Co-Founder of Voto Latino, to discuss the critical importance of political engagement within the Latino community. She shares her personal "why" for co-founding Voto Latino, a civic organization dedicated to empowering young Latinos by registering them to vote and providing them with critical information to maximize their political power. The conversation centers on navigating current community trauma and voter suppression, urging the next generation to recognize their collective power. We also mention that our friends at Donuts y Tortas are hosting an event in Anaheim on Friday, August 14 starting at 6 pm.
