00:03Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, a key state in these middle-class elections.
00:09In 2020, Joe Biden won here with a advantage of only 0.3% of the votes.
00:15Su victory is associated with the Latino vote, a group that could decide
00:20the elections of November. And that's why everyone is looking at them.
00:25The Latino community is the group of voters who grow faster than this state.
00:31The 32% of the people who are apt to vote are of Latin American origin.
00:36However, only 19% of this group have registered to vote.
00:45But the trend is changing.
00:47Now, the Latinos of Latin American are more willing to register and vote.
00:53They are aware of the importance of their vote and what this means for their community.
00:59I think it is important to vote for the Latino vote to be able to ask what we do and
01:04be supported.
01:06Because while we don't vote, we are going to be ignorant in this country.
01:12And by voting Latino, we take them into account.
01:16I just started to become a citizen and now I voted for the first time.
01:21In the community Latina, we have to vote.
01:25We have children prepared to vote.
01:27It's very important that they come out and let's inculquen, because thanks to the work of the Latinos, this country
01:33works.
01:34Generally, those who voted and did and did all the movement were between men, groups of men, organizations that were
01:41directed by men.
01:42And in this time, I did a lot of vote for women.
01:48The professor Francisco Pedraza enseña en la mayor universidad de Arizona.
01:53He has been on the way to vote for women.
01:56He has been on the way to vote for women.
01:59He has been on the way to vote for women.
02:01The actual despertar del voto latino no was a surprise for him.
02:05The leadership that was developed in Arizona was a response to a lot of anti-chicanos, anti-mexicanos, anti-mexicanos,
02:15anti-mexicanos, anti-mexicanos, anti-mexicanos, anti-mexicanos.
02:35The people who fought for women in the last decades for their rights and to become citizens.
02:39Now they are their children and women who took the leadership.
02:43It's very fair to describe the Latino movement as impulsed by multiple motors.
02:49We know, for example, that women of Latin America are promoting a series of causes and accepting and accepting roles
02:57of leadership at a higher rate.
03:00The women, for example, occupy more positions in several of these civic organizations, without a luxury, that defend the Latinos.
03:09Another important thing that is really crucial is the youth.
03:13And that energy will not disappear.
03:19A distance from the university, one of these civil organizations is extremely busy.
03:25What we are going to do today is that we are going to be in the LD26.
03:30Today is the last day for the voters to register.
03:34My Family Vota is a organization led by Latinos Latinos in Arizona.
03:39The majority are volunteers.
03:42Carolina Rodriguez Greer is the director for Arizona.
03:45She has a growing potential in the vote of her community.
03:48Each year, there are 38,000 people who are identified as Latinos in Arizona.
03:55And I think that that is a great opportunity for anyone who wants the vote in Arizona.
04:00There is a lot of play in the middle of the election.
04:03It tells us.
04:05This may not be a presidential election.
04:07It may not be a presidential election.
04:08It may not be a presidential election.
04:10But there are 10 or 15 candidates who are supported by Trump.
04:14For that, it is very important not to stop participating in these elections in the middle of the legislature.
04:20We have to pay attention to who wants to govern and remind them that people will be elected for four
04:27years.
04:28And in those four years, we can take many steps in Arizona.
04:32And we can't allow that to happen.
04:36After the daily session, the volunteers are going to be able to touch the doors.
04:41Michael and Jerry Speth do the team today.
04:44The goal is to educate the possible voters of Phoenix, show them how to register and give information about the
04:52procedures of voting.
04:54Bajo a single door, they can touch between 80 and 100 doors each day.
04:59It's difficult to reach people.
05:01Many of them are skeptical.
05:09Maria finally accepts to talk for the last election.
05:15After living in this country for over 30 years, it will be her first vote.
05:21After a long conversation, he accepts to register for the election.
05:25The economy is the main concern.
05:27The prices are too low, and the salaries are a little low.
05:39Not for one, because one already has one,
05:43one already has a little bit left, but for the young people
05:49it's difficult to get home because the prices are too high.
05:56Arisbeth se alegra de haber conseguido una votante más.
05:59Cuando era niña pudo ver la discriminación hacia los latinos con sus propios ojos.
06:03Ahora lucha por mostrar a su comunidad que con el voto son poderosos.
06:08Ella quiere darles una voz, dice.
06:12Ver que a mi comunidad no se le trataba igual que al resto me impresionó mucho.
06:18No voy a consentirlo más.
06:20Voy a votar por políticos que me pongan a mí y a mi gente en primer lugar.
06:26En eso estoy ahora.
06:29Eso es lo que mueve a los jóvenes de origen latinoamericano en Arizona,
06:34sin importar lo largo que sea el camino.
06:39A unas cuadras de la Casa Blanca, el director de Mi Familia Vota, Héctor Sánchez Barba,
06:45estudia cuidadosamente lo que sus equipos están haciendo en los diez estados donde la organización trabaja.
06:51La democracia es cara, nos dice.
06:53Organizar a un voluntario para que llame de puerta en puerta en un día cuesta entre 25 y 80 dólares.
06:59En muchas otras democracias del mundo, el registro para votar ocurre automáticamente, una vez que se es ciudadano.
07:06Se ha evolucionado.
07:07Yo creo que en este país algunas de las luchas pro derechos en todo son algunas de las mejores luchas
07:14en el mundo.
07:15Pro las mujeres, pro la comunidad afroamericana, pro los inmigrantes.
07:20Pero también hay algunas tendencias estructurales que aún siguen presentes y nos hacen más difícil, particularmente a las minorías, participar
07:28en la democracia.
07:29Entonces estamos luchando contra esas barreras.
07:31Héctor se refiere con esto a los obstáculos que empezaron a imponer las autoridades de distintos estados para tratar de
07:38exceptuar a las minorías de la votación.
07:41Mi Familia Vota se financia únicamente con donantes individuales.
07:45Es una organización no partidista, enfatiza Héctor Sánchez Barba.
07:50Llegamos a todos los políticos del país.
07:53Se trata de hacer que todos ellos rindan cuentas.
07:55La Casa Blanca estuvo totalmente cerrada aquí, a una cuadra, para los latinos durante los cuatro años de Donald Trump.
08:03Ningún líder latino serio estuvo allí.
08:06Ahora, aunque no estemos de acuerdo con algunos puntos con los demócratas,
08:09estamos todas las semanas allí debatiendo y presionando por una política de prioridades.
08:15Así que es un mundo de diferencia cuando invitamos a los políticos a los debates en los estados.
08:21Los republicanos casi nunca aceptan venir a debatir.
08:24Así que la puerta está abierta para que todos los políticos vengan a ganar el voto latino
08:30y vamos a pedirles cuentas a todos ellos.
08:35La pregunta sigue siendo quién ganará el voto latino.
08:38No solo en Arizona, sino en todo Estados Unidos.
