Your Vote Matters

  • Putting President Biden over the top in GA—One example: In 2020, our Dems Abroad votes gave him more than enough votes to win. Without our votes, he would have lost GA.
  • Difference between winning and losing—with races often so close, our votes can decide races. We need you and everyone to vote—including younger voters.

WHY TO VOTE

Financial, Personal and Our Other Rights 

  • So many reasons to vote in U.S. Elections. Even if you’re in Mexico.
    From Abortion Bans, Book Bans and Voting Suppression to protecting your Social Security and the American Dream for All to respect for everyone, whether they're Hispanic, Black, White, Asian, LGBTQ+, women, men or kids. 

Your Reasons to Vote?

  • U.S. Elections have consequences for you in Mexico. Remember, what happens in the U.S. doesn't stay there.
    How dramatically will your financial, job, personal safety, religious / spiritual and other rights change if extremist MAGA Republicans win in 2026? They will continue  to destroy Democracy. While Democrats continue to deliver strong solutions and fight for Affordability and Respect For All. The choice is clear.
