This year our country faces an important election and the Latinovote will matter more than ever before. But there are powerful groups trying to prevent us from making a difference. Contribute $15 to help us fight voter suppression and racist voter id laws through exciting, informative and controversial videos that give power to our community.
It is projected that more than 12 million Latinos could go out and vote in this year’s election. That would be an increase of 25% from 2008! What’s even more important is that Latino voters could decide key swing states like Colorado,Nevada and Florida. Unfortunately 23 states across the country have either passed or introduced legislation that would make voting more difficult not just for Latinos, but other minority groups, as well as young voters and seniors. That is why empowering the Latino community to vote is imperative this election.
Now we need YOUR help to do more and mobilize record numbers of Latino voters!
Through key, effective and powerful partnerships with Latino organizations doing amazing work on-the-ground and Cuéntame’s innovative video and social media reach, our efforts are making an impact. Our first electoral video, “How To Fight Voter Suppression” in partnership with NCLR has garnered widespread media attention. Please donate $15 and help us get the funding we need to get more Latinos registered and voting this November.
Your financial support will allow us to pursue more partnerships and reach Latino voters in key states. We cannot do it without you. As a token of appreciation, we will send you our commemorative Cuéntame sticker pictured below, so that you too can spread awareness about the power of the Latino vote this November! Donate Today!
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!

During this past year, our work has reached millions of people and we’ve been able to take on critical issues like:
Helping turn out the highest Latino vote in history.
Exposing racist electoral ads.
A music and film series to educate about the best of Latino culture and much, much more!
We greatly appreciate all of your involvement and helping us to become the flourishing community organization that we are today!

We have been able to reach over a hundred million people through our media and press impact and now we are ready to take on even more battles.
Cuéntame was created for you and by you and now we need your support once again to keep fighting! This is the only way that we can keep producing these campaigns, daily videos and continue to get our community’s voice heard loud and clear.

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 theirpolitical agenda. This is undemocratic and un-American.
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?
