MFV Ready To Mobilize The Latino Vote In The General Election

Next Phase Of #Prioridades2020 Begins Now

Washington D.C. – Bernie Sanders has suspended his 2020 presidential campaign, making Vice President Joe Biden the presumptive Democratic nominee. Mi Familia Vota is now entering the second phase of our Prioridades 2020 campaign. The goal of this campaign is to hold all the presidential candidates accountable to the Latino and immigrant community and our priorities. As we enter the second phase of the campaign Mi Familia Vota will educate and mobilize the Latino community to vote in the 2020 presidential elections. <>

President Trump has refused all the invitations from our organization to include him or representatives from his administration in our Prioridades 2020 campaign. <>

On the other hand, we would like to thank Vice President Biden for being one of the first candidates to engage in the first phase of our Prioridades 2020 campaign and for convening a town hall with us to get specific answers to our questions, priorities and respond to specific commitments. <>

On Immigration Reform: Vice President Biden Promised that he would send Congress immigration reform legislation in the first 100 days.

On Deportations: He expressed regret over his part in the deportation machine under President Obama, and promised not to deport any immigrants who had not committed felonies.

On Representation: He promised that he would have a significant number of Latinos in his cabinet and several senior advisors that were Latino.

On Puerto Rico: He promised a comprehensive plan to help Puerto Rico. He also promised to surge all the help that was needed for the island as if it happened anywhere else in the United States. <>
