We Did It!

The We Are America Alliance and its partners are proud to announce that our efforts to get out the Asian, Latino, and immigrant vote were tremendously successful.  This is a huge victory for the Alliance and our partners!  Our goal from the beginning was to organize on many fronts to advance the civic participation of Latino, Asian, and immigrant citizens to better their opportunity to have an impact on the policies that they and their communities care about.

Based on the work of the WAAA partners in several bellwether precincts of states like Colorado, Florida, and Washington, over 68% of the infrequent immigrant voters who WAAA contacted either voted early or turned out to vote on Election Day.  Places like Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico also saw a record number of Latinos and immigrants who voted, having a huge impact on the election in their respective states.


America saw an historic election this year.  We saw people from all walks of life come together and walk neighborhoods, make phone calls, register their friends and family members to vote, and work to get their communities to the polls.  There is nothing more American than people coming together from various backgrounds to lift each other up for the possibility of change. 


WAAA and its partners would like to thank all of the employees, volunteers, and citizens that participated in this historical election.


Sincerely,

Holli Holliday
