Latina Women Voters

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
PROGRAM #10492 11:00 AM PT

Latina Women Voters.

Latinas register and vote in bigger numbers than Latino men. Young Latina voters are a particularly influential group within the US voting population, with Latinos being a younger population. And they could decide the 2024 election in battleground states. What are the top issues driving Latinas to get ready to vote in this election? What’s their potential impact in the 2024 election? How are they shaping the political landscape? On other news, Latino groups around the nation are launching this week a comprehensive effort to register new Latinx voters and drive voter participation. Canvassers will walk through Latinx neighborhoods, assisting voters with registration and talking with them about the political threats looming on the horizon.

Guests: Clarissa Martinez de Castro, Vice President, Latino Vote Initiative, UnidosUS, Washington, DC; Giselle Gasca, Regional Manager, Poder Latinx, Visalia, CA.

Flood of Misinformation During Election Time Causes Concern. At a time when the Latino population continues to grow exponentially, so does the power of its electoral strength. However, fake news and misinformation seem to be circulating with greater frequency and at a higher speed than in previous electoral times, which is partly driven by social networks and the trust in sources or people of apparent credibility. For this reason, this Tuesday, September 17, Radio Bilingüe will present Fake News, Truths and Your Vote, a community forum to take place in Madera, California. Today the moderator of the event, Radio Bilingüe’s national news director Samuel Orozco, offers a preview of the forum and explains how listeners can join in, either in person or through the Radio Bilingüe network, its partner stations, its website (radiobilingue.org) and other platforms.

Guest: Samuel Orozco, National News Director, Fresno, CA.
