    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.
