Project 2025 condemned by bilingual campaign aimed at Latino voters
The "Latinos Against Project 2025" campaign focuses on a handful of policies from the polarizing conservative policy road map in an attempt to mobilize potential voters.
Seven advocacy organizations that have been working to engage Latino voters ahead of the presidential election found that many of them are familiar with Project 2025, but few understood the specifics behind the 900-plus-page conservative policy plan and its potential impact if implemented.
These groups, most of which are left-leaning or progressive, are coming together under a new coalition to launch a bilingual campaign condemning Project 2025 and its stances on specific issues that are important to Latino voters — such as education, health care access, reproductive rights, climate change and immigration, as well as jobs and workers rights.
The “Defendiendo Nuestro Futuro, Latinos Against Project 2025” campaign aims to target millions of Latino voters in swing states through door-to-door canvassing efforts, phone-banking and social media.
"The more we educate the community about this plan and its implications ... the more Latino voters will understand that Project 2025 is not in their best interest," Vanessa Cárdenas, executive director of the immigrant rights advocacy group America’s Voice, said during the campaign's launch Tuesday.
Latino voters stand to reshape the presidential race in ways that are hard to predict since many of them are young people or newly registered voters, according to a memo on a recent Equis Research poll.
