Are you in? http://OFA.BO/ntNwXC

Dear Mr. President,
I’ve waited close to 30 years for this moment.
Today my family and I have the opportunity to live the dream of thousands of immigrant families who have been embraced by this generous country. My children have the privilege of studying in American Universities and will be able give back and become useful and productive citizens of this country.
That time has come and now we have a voice. With our vote we want you to know that we support you because you believe in the very essence of the dream we are living. You are willing to work and speak up for the Latino community.
Like you I believe there is work to be done and that regardless of our political affiliation, whether we’re black, or white, or Latino, we can work together for the greater good of this nation to overcome the challenges we face. As brand new American citizens please know that my family and I are with you all the way.
May God bless you and your family and may God bless the United States of America.
Respectfully, Gloria Palacio and family

VIDEO: In Arizona, A Latino Family Fighting Against All Odds “Axel Caballero from Cuéntame”

Dear Carmen,
The Moreno family knows first-hand what it means to fight against all odds in order to keep their family together. Living in Arizona, the emblematic state best known for its harsh stances on immigration and Latino educational culture, has been a challenge in it of itself.
Watch this powerful and honest conversation!
Honest and direct the Moreno family tell us their powerful story. One which is already changing paradigms and perspectives – from their conservative community to the entire nation. Today, Cuéntame’s video of the Moreno Family is the front page of The Huffington Post Latino Voices.
Their conversation is direct, funny, emotional, challenging yet hopeful and ultimately inspirational. The Moreno family is a perfect example of how an honest conversation changes the family dynamic – for the better.
Join in the conversation by sharing this video!

Yours, Axel Caballero and the Cuéntame team.

Latinos Not Wanted?


Brave New Foundation
Donate
Click here to help 

Latinos4Reform, a conservative group, has produced a new ad encouraging Latinos in Nevada NOT TO VOTE! They are exploiting our community and trying to convince us to stay home and NOT exercise our right to vote. This is all just to further their political agenda. This is undemocratic and un-American. 

DON’T LET OUR VOICES BE SILENCED!

Cuéntame wants to fight back by producing a counter-advertisement illustrating the importance of the Latino vote. Can you help us by donating $10 so that we can create the advertisement AND buy Facebook ads so thousands of people will get the message?

Please donate TODAY to help us ensure that Latinos4Reform and other groups like them DO NOT succeed in cheating Latinos out of their votes.

To donate, click here or text ‘BNF CABRON’ to 85944 to donate $10 via phone.

Thanks for your support.

Yours,

Robert Greenwald, Axel Caballero, Ofelia Yanez
