Music, Health and the Latino Vote

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29
PROGRAM #10296 11:00 AM PT

Extra Edition: Music, Health and the Latino Vote. As Super Tuesday looms, doctors and nurses set out to mobilize around civic health. Proposing that elections are critical for health care access, community health centers in Southern California are bringing early voting machines and Spanish-language voter guides to their clinics. The non-partisan campaign is known as “Mi Voto, Mi Salud.” On a related note, artist promoters are using Mexican music to get young citizens excited about voting. Big name artists are lending their voice to drive younger millennials and Gen-Z Latino voters to the polls, as part of the non partisan campaign “Grita.Canta.Vota.”

Guests: Lizette Escobedo, Vice President of Government Relations, AltaMed Health Services, Los Angeles, CA; Esau Torres, Promoter of the “Grita. Canta. Vota.” Campaign, Tulare, CA; others TBA.
