Local Organizations Work to Promote Voting in Low-Income Communities
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Border Workers United is one of the organizations involved in this effort, which, according to its representatives, does not support any candidates or political parties. Lupita Sánchez, a representative of the organization, explained that the message is aimed at both those who are satisfied with their community's conditions and those who want change: 'If you like what is happening, vote. If you don't like what is happening, get out and vote,' Sánchez stated. Activities include communities such as Cameron Park, Southmost, and other areas in Cameron County. The representative explained that one of the main objectives is for residents to express their needs and concerns through participation in the electoral process. Sánchez reiterated that the campaign is independent of political parties and that each voter should freely decide who to vote for: 'We will never tell the community who they have to vote for. What we care about is that low-income communities raise their voices,' she affirmed.
